A workmate of mine has done it, she took a ubuntu live disk and using I think it was DD converted the disk into a bootable image then loaded that on to the usb drive and we use it now for antivirus scanning of laptop machines
If I can get instructions off her, I'll pass them on. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of James & Nash Sent: Tuesday, 12 January 2010 12:24 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: using fdisk Hi Scott, You wrote: > Have any of you used fdisk from the Terminal in order to set the boot flag on a file system, which is contained on a USB flash drive/Thumb drive?
