from a USB stick. I had been getting around it using the Plop <br>
bootloader on a CD. Tonight I found a solution. I found a program <br>
called Etcher. I used it to create a bootable USB stick which booted <br>
the first time I tried it.<br>

I checked it out with KDE partition manager which said it had a 3.22 MB <br>
FAT16 partition with the remainder of the 2GB stick listed as unknown. <br>
Cfdisk reported the following:<br>

The Partition Magic ISO I used is 595MiB (623,902,720 bytes).<br>
<br>
I passed this on in the event someone else finds it useful.<br>
