A Mini-ITX Computer that Boots from USB Flash

Published on 2005-09-19 by Mark VandeWettering

Exactly what it sounds like: XYZ Computing describes a project to get a M10000 Mini-ITX motherboard to boot from a stick of USB flash memory. It uses Puppy Linux, and is pretty straightforward. As it happens, I have exactly that motherboard: I remember trying to get it to boot USB stick memory and failing, and this author suggests that upgrading syslinux might be all it takes. I’ll have to try it again.
