How to boot from USB???

Per M. · 11-01-2005, 12:04 PM

I have read about some distros that can be installer to a USB flash drive, and you can then boot from mass storage device. The problem is: My BIOS doesn't support booting from USB device!
So my question is: Is there a boot manager(not to a floppy, but to a cd(iso file)) that allows booting from USB, like Smart Boot Manager?

hmm suppose you could take a FLOPPY boot disk and burn it out to a CD and boot with the CD to point to the USB stick.

just a guess.

Yup that's posible, just look at DSL or Puppy Linux's Documentation.
