Ok Per.

I'm not sure why space is a problem - unless mkbootdisk needs to use some temporary space. Here is what I do:
Due to me. I have not noticed the way 10.1 is build up with a / and a /home I could see using the df command, that the partition was full. I have installed too much on the / partition.
1. insert USB stick 1a. if it gets auto-mounted, unmount it. 2. NFS mount /inst-source/ at /mnt 3. chdir /mnt/boot/i386 4. perl ./mkbootdisk --32 --partition /dev/sda1 /mnt 5. done 6. umount /mnt 7. remove USB stick.
Well, I'll see if I can make that above on my server. Obviously the OS on this system does'nt automatically reconize a new usb-hardware until the system has been rebooted. Thanks for your information.
