Thanks for the info. I have mailed the author about it.
I am not sure if there is a problem or not. I have not encountered it yet. I
produced the USB-version on MS Windows (no sda there, it was drive G:) and it
worked fine on my trusty notebook.
We will find out I guess. The thumbdrive id vfat formated. Maybe ext3 or the
like will pose a problem.
Kind regards,
Sebastian
