Hey guys, new here-mostly hang out at linuxquestions.org.
While successfully figuring out how to put ubcd on usb without using windows exe fix2 or whatever it's called or using the livecd, I encountered a bug that is also on the livecd.

When trying to boot "pcisniffer" off the usb/cd it would say "/images/pcisniff.igz" no such file or directory"

OK-I edited the "mboard5.cfg" so it would say "/images/pcisniffer.igz", as it originally says "append images/pcsniff.igz" but in the images folder is "pcisniffer.igz"
Booted it and same result-"/images/pcisniffer.igz-no such file"

I then shortened the "pcisniffer.igz" to "pcisniff.igz" in the images folder and re-edited the "mboard5.cfg" to say what it originally said-"pcisniff.igz"

Booted it and it works!!
So, go into the "images" folder and rename "pcisniffer.igz" to "pcsniff.igz" and it's fixed!!!

As I said-I got ubcd working on usb without using livecd or tutorials-what are all the ways to put ubcd on usb??
Oh, you can download some multidistro's at my site- multidistro.com
Today I'm releasing "Mini256-USB.zip" which has ubcd-4.11 on it and other stuff-see the site!
Questions about virtual DSL/Qemu vhd's please send me an email at thepenandpaper@gmail.com

Test UBCD50 beta12 instead.
It contains also an explanation to put UBCD on an USB stick from linux. It would be appreciated if you can test it, to see that the instructions are clear.

BTW, UBCD411 is very old.

Nice to have another linux user.

Will do-why does it say on the site to get the latest stable version 4.11?

Because UBCD50 is still in development. A lot of things can change between different beta's (location of files, ...).
