1 Hi group,
2
3 Using as my model:
4
5 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml
6
7 to install eeexubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386-20090223.iso via a bootable usb key. Everything fine until this command:
8
9 # cp -r /mnt/cdrom/* /mnt/usb
10
11 resulted in this:
12
13 cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/dists/stable': Operation not permitted
14 cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/dists/unstable': Operation not permitted
15 cp: cannot create symbolic link `/media/disk/ubuntu': Operation not permitted
16
17 Some one in a forum says this doesn't matter. Very well, I carry on.
18
19 This command:
20
21 # mv /mnt/usb/memtest86 /mnt/usb/memtest
22
23 results in a file-not-found msg.
24
25 And when I try to boot get "Missing operating system".
26
27 I ran through the steps several times to make sure I wasn't leaving something out or adding something that wasn't there but the result was the same.
28
29 Does it really matter that I'm using 'Buntu? A look at the 'Buntu howtos for this procedure remind me why I prefer the gentoo method.

31 Neil, you there? How did you do it? I don't have a cd/dvd attachment for my tripleE, have to use a usb key.
