Taking this a little further afield.. I used Syslinux 3.63 and Ubuntu 8.04 on my Razr phone with a 1GB flash and the general instructions here. I used -sma in syslinux (not sure I needed to...) and renamed the isolinux folder and .cfg to syslinux. That's it. Amaze your friends! Thanks for the article. Taking this a little further afield..

As helpful as the linux community is I can't believe no one responded to 'Harsh', Harsh your thumbdrive instal lacks 'persistance' This problem is common in thumbdrive linux installs since by default the LiveCD (which is what you are really using) doesn't save anything anywhere other than to RAM. Try using google to look-up 'making USB persistant' or 'Casper -rw' Hope that helps if you are still looking for an answer, or I hope it renews your efforts if you gave up on this great project due to lack of info O.O -James WoW!!

My question is whether this has any benefit to a VM. We have a USB DAT drive in an ML350 G5. Can you shed some light on this? We are only on the Foundation product so VMotion and DRS are not of importance in this instance.

I was able to run KNOPPIX via my USB & extremely happy seeing it. ** Now the only problem is, I m writting a few SHELL SCRIPTS which m not able to recover later On. It gets saved & retrieved untill my session lasts. Once I reboot, all changes and files are disappeared. -- Any solutions to this is Highly appreciated. Hey, Thanks a Ton buddy.

With syslinux 3.54 Knoppix 5.1.1 for a Dell Latitude D505 I also needed to do syslinux.exe with -sma options to make the USB recognized as bootable by the bios (Phoenix). Also note, more recent syslinux will look in /boot/syslinux for syslinux.cfg. So you don't need to copy all to the root. Just rename the isolinux dir to syslinux, and rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg (and delete isolinux.bin, but that might not be needed). Thanks for the help.

I also heard there are CD helpers containing just loaders enabling USB stick usage after initial boot. Would be nice if someone could give any reference. Google etc do not help.
