I totally agree that what you did is clearly the sensible and expedient<br>way of accomplishing the task. I really dont have much guilt expecting<br>people to have or use such a thing.<br><br>However, I also acknowledge that it would be *nice*, certainly not<br>necessary, but *nice* to have the USB install as an option.<br>I do not know how to accomplish it at this time, and I have no<br>intention of spending the time to find out. However, if someone<br>*could* figure this out and "contribute" their wisdom (in the form<br>of an installable package, not just a list of perhaps vague instructions),<br>it would be of great benefit to everyone (at least potentially).<br><br>Jim WB6NIL<br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 18:00:45 -0800<br>From: ki6ies.tasma@gmail.com<br>To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org<br>Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Install onto a netbook via usb stick<br><br>I have successfully installed onto both of my Dell Inspiron Netbooks model 1018, 1.66 Ghz processor, 2 GB of ram, and a 250 GB SATA II hard drive which I changed out for a 16 GB Solid State Hard Drive.

</div></div><div class="ecxim"><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal">Hello all! Well I am learning linux as we go, and can navigate my way around it pretty good now. My question is has anyone installed the acid.iso onto a netbook (no cdrom drive) yet? I am trying to install onto a Dell Inspiron mini 10, it has a 1.66 Ghz processor, 2 GB of ram, and a 16 GB Solid State Hard Drive. I have downloaded and installed the acid.iso file from the allstar website. I can get the install menu to come up, but I keep getting "error unable to download kickstart file". Anyone else tried doing this yet? The labtop is seeing the usb stick as /dev/sdb1, and I can see the files on there, just not sure where to point it to, to continue the install.<u></u><u></u></p>
