Thanks for your interest :). > I did the usual dd if=XXX of=YYY but it didn't work. (On reboot, I > tell my Lenovo to boot to the USB key, but it apparently fails and > then boots to the hard drive.) I wonder if your iso is missing > something? The ISO is just an ISO, not an USB disk image too, it won't boot after a dd copy. > I tried to use your liveusb-writer, but it had unsatisfied > dependencies regarding grub splash images. Weird. Just try to force installation without checking dependencies. The script liveusb-write should not be annoyed by the missing package (artwork indeed I assume). Or download the missing package from our repository: http://debian.doudoulinux.org/pkglist.php I should fix the package dependencies… > It would be really nice if the standard dd command would work as it > does for other Debian distributions. We tried the Debian Live isohybrid system that is probably used on Debian CD's and, for an unknown reason, live CD's made some computers hang immediately, at the BIOS boot level. Moreover writing the image onto USB key didn't help much on these computers, the live USB media hanged a bit later during the Linux boot process. Finally I decided to forget isohybrid, offer ISO images that are just for CD's (DVD's for instance), and write a tool that takes benefit of the ability of Grub2 to boot an ISO image from any media. Alternatively, if you don't want to (or can't) use our tool liveusb-write, you can make the USB media manually, as indicated on our blog: http://blog.doudoulinux.org/post/2013/02/17/Booting-a-DoudouLinux-ISO-from-an-USB-key Hope this help.
