Plopbm on Floppy to Boot usb key

[smarch291]

Hi,
I have a problem to boot my usb key.
here's my specs :
Thinkpad a21m, 384mb ram, 20gig hd, floppy, 1 usb port, no cdrom device.
My usb key : kingston travaler 16gig

I can boot plop from the floppy seeing the graphical menu and starfield
but when I choose usb in the menu, the screen goes blank with a flashing
cursor standing there.

On the usb key I've install Pendrivelinux, a stripped debian etch, version 8. I will let it go for a while to see if it's because of slow loading
of a 600mb distro...

Thanks !

It worked !!!

It was a mather of distro not recognized
I think I used pclinuxos minime... could not boot
the usb key.

ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386 is working fine now
on my thinkpad !

Now i'm wondering if i could install win7 ...
will check later

cheers !
