Hey, a few questions about the USB install of Webconverger.

-I'm trying to use WinRaWrite to copy the image over to the USB stick
but as soon as I press a button (even when it says press enter to
continue) the program shuts down, does anyone know what might cause
this?

-Will putting Webconverger on the USB stick (be it by using linux or
windows) make it unreadable by windows and make it more or less
useless afterwards and if so, is this reversible? (with the exception
of booting webconverger ofcource)

-Could someone please make a small step by step "tutorial" on making a
bootable USB stick of Webconverger? As I found the wiki article quite
hard to follow.

Thanks in advance,

Dean Vaessen.

Truth be told USB image writing from Windows has been tricky.

I have been working with John from http://www.chrysocome.net/dd and he
has prepared a very experimental 0.6beta2 version of dd that writes by
simply addressing the drive letter of your USB device.

Assuming your USB stick comes up as the drive letter E:

1. Make sure the the selection of drive e
is working (look like it is but check against dd --list)
dd id=e: of=/dev/null

2. Try writing
dd if=mini.img od=e:
