Install Elive 1.6 on Flash Disk
 
1. Grab the Elive 1.6 ISO and Burn it to a CD/DVD or mount it.

2. Insert the CD/DVD [skip this if you have mounted the iso]

3. Open a terminal and login to root using "su"

4. Open Gparted and format the drive to fat16 or fat32 if your flash is large enough
add a partition for linuxswap.

5. Mount the flash disk [e.g /mnt/sdx1] (replace "x" with the letter of your drive)

6. Copy deliver, system and boot folders to your flash disk partition.

7. Open menu.lst in /boot/grub/ and add this word "fromhd" at the end of
"kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24.2-elive-686 boot=eli quiet vga=788"
so it should look like
"kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24.2-elive-686 boot=eli quiet vga=788 fromhd"

8. run "grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/sdx1 /dev/sdx"

howto mount ISO???

mount /PATH/TO/Elive1.6.ISO /TO/MOUNT/POINT -t iso9660 -o loop
