[klug] [Fwd: Help needed]

[klug.member.lancer at xoxy.net]

I have Partition Magic 8 (windows partitioning tool). Not entirely sure 
of the legalities, although I imagine it would be okay to use this as 
long as it wasn't left on your hard drive. Can you make the LUG meeting 
on Thursday?

If you want to install to a USB hard drive (I think you mean a USB flash 
drive?) try FlashLinux http://flashlinux.org.uk
I have found Flash to be "so-so" successful as not all BIOS are 
compatable with booting from flash, and others are erratic in how they 
behave.

Lancer.
