Hi,
Dean Graff:

But imagine the overworked developer shortly before midnight
banging the head on the desk because that @#$%@ USB stick
fails on the demo machine after it succeeded on two
test machines.
Currently it seems we need in the wiki a link from
SYSLINUX#Creating_a_Bootable_Disk
to
Hardware_Compatibility#USB-Geometry
and from there a link to a (yet to find) tutorial about
the mkdiskimage tool. (About which i know nothing yet.)
Google found me meanwhile about mkdiskimage:
http://www.syslinux.org/doc/usbkey.txt
which looks best so far. MS-Windows user might feel left behind,
though.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
