i have here a usb flash drive with Xubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy installed on it,
i'm not sure either via unetbootin or wubi. i want to boot into it, from
this here thinkpad that has no usb bios support. can anyone share with me
a suitable incantation that can be included in the grub.conf on my hd to
boot this little beast? either syslinux.cfg or isolinux/isolinux.cfg
(both pasted below) probably contain suitable clues, but i might need a
bit more magic..?
tia,
