Hi all,

I just started testing unattended in the last couple of days. 

I've gone through the step-by-step tutorial which has gotten me up and running, which is great.

I was able to modify the autoexec.bat file from bootdisk directory. I did see a makefile on there, so i executed
# make clean
# make all

when it was done, it created a new bootdisk.iso file. I burned it to a CD and its working magically. The question is really, how can i put this ISO on a usb stick? I've tried
# dd if=bootdisk.iso of=/dev/device
# dd if=bootdisk.iso of=/dev/devicepartition

and those did not work. I know the system can boot from a usb, just not this one.

I do get the following message

Missing operating system.
Boot from CD :
This is not a bootable disk. Please insert a bootable floppy and press any key to try again...

Is booting from USB not supported or possible?

(i did try the steps suggested in http://unattended.sourceforge.net/faq.php#8_2 and i got the same message as noted above)

Thanks,

Sijis
