Lorenzo, I followed the same instructions (
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09...ibbon-install/ ),
including the last two lilo commands, but my computers don't see the USB
stick as a bootable device. And yes, fdisk shows that the /dev/sdb1 is
Active/Boot.
Any tips? Can I check whether there is a MBR on the stick?
