User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b10) Gecko/20110206 Firefox/4.0b10 Build Identifier: I created an installation flash disc of Mageia Linux alpha 1 via UNetbootin. When I boot it, the installer couldn't find a source for the installation. It's possible to locate the flash disk and install Mageia, but it would be good, if this was automatic. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Unetbootin doesnt work with Mageia(Mandriva). To create an bootable flash disk use: # dd if=/path/and/name-of-iso-file.iso of=/dev/sdX (X=the letter for your flash disk) or use MandrivaSeed.

Personally, I never had a problem with the Mandriva's iso, same with the first iso of Mageia. But yes there was no graphical boot for grub.

Hello, normally you should not have any problem putting your iso on a usb stick since they are hybrid by default. As a complement to #1, you can look in dmesg|tail to know the letter of your usb stick. You can indeed also use MandrivaSeed, especially if you are doing this operation from windows. See: http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/MandrivaLinux/official/iso/2010/mandriva-seed-windows.zip Beware, doing this will erase everything on your usb stick. Unetbootin is unsupported.
