Hiya guys,

has anyone got, or know if you can make a bootable USB version of the HELIX Live CD.

I am trying to do more and more stuff just using my new Aspire One, so dont want to be carrying around external CD drives, when a USB fits so easily into the pocket.

Any info would be appreciated. Cheers.

R R,

thought I had not seen you online lately (get messenger installed).
I will have a look at PenDriveLinux and see how I get on.

The Aspire One is going well thanks, happy to use Linpus for general surfing, messaging etc, and got BT3 working properly from USB on it now, so far so good
Dell are releasing the Inspiron E now, so I am interested to see the official specs and hopefully not be to upset. I have taken my Aspire One apart to upgrade to 1.5GB, overkill probably but it had to be done

Have you tried this:

Has worked to get every distro I have thrown at it onto a USB thumbdrive including helix.

I read this thread yesterday and wanted to set up Helix (V1.9-07) on a USB. I downloaded the latest unetbootin and followed the steps given, but when I boot to the Helix USB, I get the unetbootin splash with a regular Helix menu, and select Console.  I'm repeatedly get an error: "Can't find the HELIX filesystem. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell."  End of story.  Any help?
Thnx!
