[finnix] usb thumbdrive without formatting / partitioning?

[Geoffrey Lane]

specifically is a matter of keeping it as is feri, I've been running this
along with a live cd for probably a year.
Though I'd almost like to have a multi-boot usb key mostly with ubcd/linux,
however I'm not all that patient in getting to work.
And no, ryan, don't think it's your personality... More likely a step to
make alot less headaches in the future. However I'd like to say I'd rather
have the choice when running it, knowing the "best" and "quickest" ways are
available...
Also the drive has worked flawlessly as a usb bootable drive for that time
using syslinux and makebotfat command included in the package, however it
did not need to be formatted. I know of exactly which issue you're looking @
or lookingto prevent, all but one pc booted fine without tweaking bios and
another had option for usb-hdd/usb-zip.

Am I correct that seeing this will partition my drive since it's 4gb? And
why is it 1gb if the iso is 100mb? Does it decompress the image? is the
/dev/sda4 partition vfat or ext* filesystem?


Thanks for the replies btw,
Freeballer
