Re the medium to use.
The use of USB sticks is really not something to be seriously considered. Not everyone has the ability to use this medium.
I did see that, but I couldn't imagine who it is that cannot boot from a USB stick? I actually have some elderly systems that can't, but those are the exception and they're quite close to ending up on ebay.
I mean, even my Philips picture frame has a USB socket, if it would run Linux I'm sure it could boot from USB too :-)
I totally disagree based on real world experience.
Having a usb port does not mean usb booting is supported.
Completely agree Greg, lots of devices with USB ports can't boot from them - mobile phones, digital cameras, my keyring picture frames ;-), but are there really a _significant_ group of Linux-capable boxes that cannot boot from USB? I know I have some elderly Compaq Proliants and an even older IBM Netfinity that can't, but those are hardly interesting when we're talking about the Live CD. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
