[05:28] <persia> Stralytic, You might want to send that to the mailing list, just because not everyone reads scrollback, and it's quiet around here now.
[05:29] <Stralytic> persia, yep, thanks. i was planning on doing that once i had some more material, eg, mockups
[05:31] <persia> That makes sense.  I'm a fan of discussion early and often, but many find pictures easier than reading the thousand words :)
[05:47] <Splex> I have tried imaging my usb drive with the umpc i386 img..   it will not boot
[05:47] <Splex> other images boot from the device without troubles
[05:48] <Splex> any idea how to make the image boot correctly?
[05:49] <Splex> if i view /dev/sda with fdisk,  it returns a lot of errors about the partition tables being invalid
[05:50] <Splex> /dev/sda does auto-mount and i can see all the files on it from the image
[06:14] <persia> When you dd an image onto a USB drive, you'll generally break the partition table.
[06:14] <persia> This shouldn't be an image.
[06:14] <persia> s/image/problem/
[06:14] <persia> That /dev/sda automounts (note that it's not /dev/sda1: it's not a partition) indicates the disk is OK.
[06:14] <persia> What error do you get trying to boot?
[06:25] <Splex> it simply skips past the usb device and boots from the drive
[06:25] <Splex> i see the usb drive flashing
[06:27] <Splex> so /dev/sdb is a filesystem in itself, thats what i thought
[06:27] <Splex> i have also tried formatting the device with vfat and using unetbootin to add the image
[06:27] <Splex> that failed
[06:31] <Splex> sudo dd if=./ubuntu-8.10-umpc-i386.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1024
[06:31] <Splex> thats the command i was using to transfer the image
[12:37] <rZr> do u own this device http://www.stefanoforenza.com/chinese-mid-deploying-ubuntu-by-default/ ?
