There are other ways (like with the mkbootdisk script provided on our iso) that are technically more perfect but seem to be too complicated for general use. Just copying the iso has its shortcomings, as you can't really re-partition the device, not all disk space is used, etc.) but accomplishes its task which is to provide an installation medium. The described effects are all known and have been discussed at length at the respective mailing lists at the time isohybrid was released (afaik). In summary: the isohybrid way is not perfect - but works surprisingly well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
