"Error: Specified CD-ROM disk or image file is neither ISOLinux-based nor floppy emulation mode bootable CD-ROM; thus it cannot be converted"

In the ISO image itself are two folders, one "isolinux" and one "isolinux.bak". That makes me think it IS an isolinux bootable CDROM, but Flashboot ain't really getting it.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong with Flashboot, or if not that program, anybody been able to put together a LiveCD/Flash Drive with ANY method? I KNOW it's got to be possible. With BartPE you can make a Windows XP LiveCD, so it stands to reason that it's gotta be do-able in this situation too, but I'm just not guru-enough on my own to figure out how.

Really if it's too big a problem for too long, I'll just burn a CD and do it the way I'm supposed to, but I'm getting really sick of burning discs just to TEST a new distro. 99% of 'em just end up in the trash afterwards. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use my flash-drive to test new distros and only actually BURN whichever one I decide I like enough to keep.

Any help appreciated. Thx very much. :-)]]> dcorleone Booting Medias Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:13:21 -0700 http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?30,1406,1406#msg-1406 http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?30,1406,1406#msg-1406

BTW I love the new builds! IF you guys have't heard I talked to amikit at the last amiga show and told them you might build elive for use with their efika boards and such.. they really really liked the looks of elive..

Yes Im an old amiga kid,, say hi to raster for me.. I (:D haven't seen him in ages.]]> auzieman Booting Medias Sat, 29 Dec 2007 21:12:04 -0800 http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?30,1405,1405#msg-1405 http://forum.elivecd.org/read.php?30,1405,1405#msg-1405
First a conversion script, aka I have a working debian or ubuntu base install how about a script we could run that would convert that unit into an elive unit. Kinda like those plesk scripts, hypervm etc...

Also for the developer releases there should be postings re sources.list etc. and maybe a write up on "upgrading".. ::o]]> auzieman Booting Medias Sat, 29 Dec 2007 21:07:42 -0800
