I haven't looked at what GParted does, so I may be off mark, but I have
a strong suspicion that this LBA "flag" is a fake flag that simply

Issues Booting Hybrid ISO from UFD on Dell PC
Hi, I would like to ask if there are any known issues with booting an
ISOLINUX hybrid iso image from a USB Flash Drive on older Dell PC's (i.e. P4
2.2GHz). I've tried several that one should just be able to write to UFD
and boot, but they all fail on my hardware. I get "isolinux.bin missing or
corrupt" message on screen. This function would be very convenient for me,

unable to install Debian using syslinux 4.05
Hi,
I'm trying to install debian-6.0.5-amd64-CD-1.iso from USB
memory-stick. The problem is, that Debian-Installer is not able to
"Detect and mount CD-ROM" during the installation process. The USB
memory-stick is a 2GB model containing MBR and FAT32 file system:

Questions on custom LiveCD
I tried making my own LiveCD according to the instructions on the project

easy to do and works right from the beginning (I'm building it inside a

I have encountered a few problems and have some questions.

Centos5 NFS install from loop-back mounted DVD image fails
NFS install from a loop-back mounted DVD image fails for me when it
actually tries to start the RPM install process. I come to the point
where anaconda checks the package dependencies, then it tells that the
install process will be started in some minutes and the last thing I
see is a message similar to: Preparing transaction from install media.
Then this message box disappears and the install

Memory usage with memdisk vs initrd a squashfs
Question,
Some Linux distributions I support show two approaches for pxe booting them. One uses memdisk to boot an ISO file. The other uses pxelinux to boot kernel and initrd a squashfs file.
I'm unfamiliar with the impact to memory either approach has. Like, does using memdisk permanently squirrel away a chunk of memory for the ISO file that the OS will be unable to use? Is using initrd to

SquashFS: how good is it?
Hello listmates,
Have any of you used SquashFS?
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SquashFS
We have tried it on small file sets, seems good but if you have
experience using it, especially to store/archive lage volumes of
files, please share your experience.
Thanks.
Boris.
