And that's exactly what I was going for. "Phenominal cosmic power!<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Hey Fellas,<br><br>I'm now running into a little snag and I need your help. My first attempt at doing the USB device/NetInstall was remarkably successfully. I installed Fedora 11 Beta and was on my way to BETA Hell! So; now that I've decided that I'm not functional in a beta environment, I'm trying to go back to Fedora 10 and wait patiently... so patiently that I'll wait 2wks after F11 is released before I submit myself to that kind of *freshness* again.<br>
<br>I downloaded the files in the "pxeboot" folder and put them onto my USB device in a "fedora" folder.<br><br><a href="ftp://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora/releases/10/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/">ftp://fedora.mirrors.tds.net/pub/fedora/releases/10/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/</a><br>
<br>And then running "syslinux" pointing to my USB device. I notice that it does create some file in the root directory, but for the life of my USB doesn't boot anymore. I used to have a "USB-ZIP" option when I chose my boot device after post, but only "USB-CD" shows up. What am I doing wrong?<br>
<br>I've had to reformat the USB device a couple times. I tried it as an ext3 format first, but "syslinux" said it only wanted FAT. When I tried to reformat it back to FAT it crapped out on me and I had to reformat it under Windows Vista. Once I got back to status quo, I copied the "pxeboot" files and ran syslinux.<br clear="all">
