Actually if you really want to make sure your stick boots in the most places, you need to write the image directly at the root, not in a partition. Under Linux, you should probably write to /dev/sde, not /dev/sde1. I don't know how device names are named under OSX. Some BIOSes can not boot sticks created by writing to the first partition. Careful, this makes it harder to recover a clean partition table on the USB key if you want one later. -- Loïc Minier -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
