Splashtop on USB stick

[x20mar]

Hi sorry for not getting back in touch but I've been away on holiday. I've got the image but I think I've gone a different route to how you were doing it and I've kinda got myself stuck.

What I did was that I took the image and I expanded the achieve (so I can see all the SQX files, etc) and placed that onto a usb drive. The plan was then to add grub so that it could be bootable but that didn't work any suggestions?

Thanks

Use the script unmodified, there is a grub script too, when you look better. Then it works on supported hardware.

Hi Kano,

unfortunately I couldn't get the scripts to work for me but I understood them enough to manually punch in the commands.

Anyway I'm at the point where splashtop has been extracted and grub has now been installed. If I boot from the usb drive just now I get pointed to the grub command line interface, so what I need to do is link grub to splashtop. I understand that should be done in device.map, which at the moment looks like this

(fd0)	/dev/fd0
(hd0)	/dev/sda
(hd1)	/dev/sdc

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

Then use the sample menu.lst that i write in the scripts... It seems you did not figure it out. When the system boots from USB it is always hd0, so delete the devices.map.

You know what, you're right, I hadn't figured it properly. I went back to the scripts with a fresh pair of eyes and now I've happy to report that I've got this work on a usb stick!

Now I just need VLC and wifi support....

wifi i could help you if needed, just need your system specs.

If you could that would be great. My wireless chipset is the Intel? PRO/Wireless 3945ABG, and if it is any help the linux drivers are available at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...=39&submit=Go!

Thanks for this!

Thanks Kano for the scripts, I'm just trying to run the first script.

The error I get is
root@calin-desktop:~/Desktop# lilo -s /dev/null -M ${DEVICE}
Fatal: /dev/sdb1 is not a master device with a primary parition table

Second question: what represents DEVICE 1 and DEVICE 2

Thanks and sorry for my begginers questions


Thanks I solved the problem and I got the answer for my question, thanks again for the script
