I've got a machine with pcdos on it and I can get it to boot from USB (no cd) I can
see the USB from PCDOS so surely I should be able to run the boot process on the USB?

They all seem to be set correctly - the machine is meant to boot from
USB but I've tried 4 different USBs and different ISO's and none of them
click. I have a virus so life is a bit fuzzy and I may be cocking things
up but in theory I should be able to sidestep the boot process and from
pcdos run linux from the USB - used to do this in the very old days ISTR....
