The short answer is "who says it has to be a bootable CD image?". There are plenty of USB-based linux images out there... just use one of those. Slightly longer answer: If it's a syslinux-like CD, dd the mbr.bin to the stick, and copy the rest of the contents to the 1st partition. That should do it.* * Haven't tested, but that should be the +/- the way of doing it. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
