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>

<br></blockquote><div><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><br>Jon<br><br><br></div></div>
