to make a bootable USB installer, assuming your machine can boot to USB devices.

I'm going there ASAP. I'd like to have a bootable thumb for that very reason - I believe that I had Puppy on a stick too and it worked on this same 'puter very well. Youse guys chuckled at my using Puppy - but I was getting along quite well in it even though it couldn't handle my sound card(s) at all!


Get this and you won't have any trouble burning .iso's

I've done that before - can't remember if it was successful or not - but I'll try that too.
