I have created a usb drive for installs. but found out during
install<br>
not all the needed files where cp over. I have to go back
remount and cp<br>
over the dir of the missing files.<br>
<br>
I need to know why its not cp the files correctly and how to
go about<br>
fixing it.<br>
<br>
I also still have not been able to make a iso and getting help
is like<br>
pulling teeth with out Novocain.<br>
<br>
you have a great project it just seems to need a few work
throu's .<br>
<br>
if the iso and the usb drive can be fixed it will give me a
way to<br>
donate alot of money back to the project<br>
<br>
but I have to have a working install to get the funding.<br>

Rich - It would help if you specified what files are not
getting copied during your USB installs, or at least give some
samples.<br>
<br>
I have made many USB drives and the only problem I have seen
is when I tried to use the same source directory to make a USB
drive after initially doing an ALIX compact flash install. In
that case there were at least booting troubles.<br>
<br>
My standard procedure is to do most configuration and
customization on one master USB drive. I then use dd to
backup the image and copy it to new drives. I make sure that
the "master image" fits on all 1GB USB drives and then use
GParted on my Ubuntu desktop to expand the partition and files
system to fill the target USB drive. I am trying to CLI tools
to do the partiton / filesystem expand under Voyage so that I
can use a remote USB drive to make more copies of itself.<br>
<br>
I'm giving a "Voyage centric" talk in 10 days and I would like
to make a bootable CD version by then, but I doubt that I will
have time.<br>
