Hi All,

How could i create a bootable usb drive for the Linux.?
Will the solution be equally effective on the Solaris 10 platform.?

Thanks.

bootable usb drives are more of a Computer BIOS thing
than anything else. Your BIOS has to try and boot from
USB. Most old BIOSes don't... doubt that the SUN box
will do this... if your BIOS will boot off of USB, then
you format it as ext2 / ext3 and configure it like a normal
linux drive... just hope your BIOS tries to boot it.
