Hi,

installing Slackware 13.0, I make the USB boot disk as proposed by the
stantard setup program.

Then, I upgraded the kernel and I would update the recovery USB boot
disk, but makebootdisk ask me for the floppy not for the USB flash
disk.

Is there an equivalent program o method to do the boot disk on USB
flash device ?

Thanks.

It seems to me that what you want is
/var/log/setup/setup.80.make-bootdisk, which is the script that created
your USB boot-disk at installation time.

Thank you very much, I had never look at this directory :-(

According to the instructions in /usb-and-pxe-installers, enter
that directory, run `dd if=usbboot.img of=(whatever your usb is
deviced under? /dev/sdb?) bs=512'

For a real thrill, realize that you have pointed the dd at your boot
device!.
