Has anyone tried to do an sarge debian-install from a USB pen-drive?
I tried it but the motherboard doesn't do the USB boot very well.
Do I need to get an install floppy #1 to do this?
If it doesn't boot from the USB device itself, yes, you probably need some other means to at least get past the booting phase.
I had to set the device to USB-ZIP in the bios and it's working great!
The current version of the sarge-installer is really impressive.
To be brief, it's much easier to use than others I have tried recently (YaST2): fast, clean, accurate.
It doesn't have the eye-candy because it's not running X, which can be a very good thing.
It doesn't do XFree86 configuration, because it's not supposed to, but comparison to other distros one might think it should. But this can also be a good thing.
In short, no surprises, not disappointments. And I did it all from a USB stick.
Compared to earlier debian installers, I was bored. Not enough questions.
