[Voyage-linux] Voyage linux on USB flash drive

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi George,

Have you try burn the iso image directly to the USB flash drive?  The iso is generated using hybrid iso that this way is 
supposed to work.... But I have not tried yet.... so I need a helper for that.

Regards,
Punky
