Guest metrox Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Hi everybody! I can't speak english but i'm gonna to try. So! I have a distribution of Mandrakemove on a CD and i'm booting with my USB key (transcend 256 mb) without any problem. But at the starting page which ask you which keyboard, mouse, language you have, mandrakemove doesn't ask me anything about my usb key! So! I thought it's all right, it was detected and there was no problem but when i restart mandrakemove, no parameters, folder or file was saved! What can i do? Format my usb key? Buy another? Help me please! Thank you for any answer. Maxime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 I think the way MandrakeMove pulled off USB Key support is outstanding. When you first boot the product you must enter a username and pass, as well as accept an end user agreement (... ugh). Then you are asked to insert a USB Key if one is not already present. A USB key is not 100% necessary, but extends the functionality of the product 100 fold. After having the USB Key detected, mandrake boots to the desktop. (note: with the USB Key configured and present, you will never be asked questions on subsequent boots... just sent straight to the desktop. Great, huh?) http://www.linuxquestions.org/reviews/show...2/cat/11/page/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DjDx Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Just to add that only the retail version saves your settings to your USB key. YOu can of course save files on your key manually (the key appears here at /mnt/win_c2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
