Plug in usb disk, select required iso One thing i had to do to create one for a different distro is to use unetbootin (or something) but for ubuntu It works, so I guess the one that comes with mint will work with mint images. I asked about this recently as I want to create a usb disk that can boot more than 1 distro, Paul -- -- http://www.zleap.net http://www.ubuntu.com skype : psutton111 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
