========================================================================
        If you want to boot RIPLinuX from a USB Flash drive.
========================================================================

   The USB device should be at least 75 MB for RIPLinuX-5.3.iso.
   The USB device should be at least 40 MB for RIPLinux-5.3-non-X.iso.

================== Install RIPLinuX to the USB device =================

   # sh mkusb.sh RIPLinuX-5.3.iso /dev/sdb  
   
   The above example assumes that's the name of the ISO image, and
   the USB drive is on /dev/sdb!

   # fdisk -l  "To find the device the USB drive is on!"
               "For example, if it says /dev/sdb4, just put '/dev/sdb' etc."

   If the USB drive is not fat16 or FAT32 formatted, use the '-f' option,
   because it must be fat16 or FAT32 formatted. You'll loose anything
   on the USB drive!

   # sh mkusb.sh -f RIPLinuX-5.3.iso /dev/sdb

   Instead of specifying an ISO image, you can specify a source directory
   that contains the contents of the ISO image, laid out the same way
   as the ISO image.

   # sh mkusb.sh source_directory /dev/sdb

   If you want to change or add something to the Linux system, do this.

   # mkdir /rip1 /rip2
   # mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /rip1
   # cd /rip2
   /rip2# gzip -dc /rip1/boot/rootfs.cgz | cpio -iumdv

   Make the changes in the /rip2 directory, then cpio/gzip the system.

   # rm /rip1/boot/rootfs.cgz
   /rip2# find . | bin/cpio -v -o -H newc | gzip -9 >/rip1/boot/rootfs.cgz
                     ^^^
        "Use the RIPLinuX 'bin/cpio' here!"

   # rm -rf /rip2
   # umount /rip1
   # rmdir /rip1

   There's also a Windows NT/2K/XP/Vista version of mkusb.sh.
   It won't work under DOS or Win9x!

   In Windows, run 'mkusb.bat' on the RIPLinuX CD from the boot directory!
   The USB drive must be fat16 or FAT32 formatted.

   d:\boot\mkusb.bat f:  "Specify the USB drive!"

 
   There are Windows programs that can extract the contents of the
   RIPLinuX ISO image.

   You can use isox.exe to extract the RIPLinuX ISO in Windows.

   Get 'isox-1.20.exe' and extract it!
   Put RIPLinuX-5.3.iso in the same directory as xiso.bat!
   Read the README and then run xiso.bat!

   Instead of using a RIPLinuX CD, you can use a directory that has the
   contents of RIPLinuX, laid out like the ISO image.

   c:\riplinux\boot\grub4dos\grub.exe etc.
   c:\riplinux\boot\isolinux\menu.c32 etc.
   c:\riplinux\boot\syslinux\syslinux.exe etc.
   c:\riplinux\boot\kernel etc.
   c:\riplinux\boot\rootfs.cgz etc.

   c:\riplinux\boot\mkusb.bat f:

   To boot the RIPLinuX system, the BIOS must support booting from a USB device.

ATTENTION!!!      ATTENTION!!!      ATTENTION!!!

   You can boot a RIPLinuX CD and run 'mkusb.sh' on the CD from the Linux
   system.

   Mount the RIPLinuX CD!

   # mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
   # sh /mnt/cdrom/boot/mkusb.sh -h  "For Help!"
   # sh /mnt/cdrom/boot/mkusb.sh /mnt/cdrom /dev/sdb

   The above example assumes your CD drive is /dev/scd0 and your
   USB drive is /dev/sdb!
