=======================
1- Prepare your USB key
=======================

Umount your usb key if mounted
	
Create an ext2 file system with cfdisk
	# cfdisk /dev/sdc
	New/Primary
	Bootable
	Type 83
	Write: yes
	Quit

Format the USB key (Should be not mounted)
	# mke2fs -j /dev/sdc1

To prevent fsck from being run on it
	# tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sdc1

Pick the UUID of your formatted usb key
	# /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/sdc1 > /home/foo/uuid_of_your_usb_key.txt

Mount your usb key
	# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb

========================================
2- Untar the tar.gz file on your usb key
========================================

Untar the tar.gz file
	$ tar xvf zeneee-1.0-beta3.tar.gz -C /mnt/usb

==================================
3- Edit /etc/fstab on your usb key
==================================

Replace the UUID by the previously determined

===========================================
4- Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst on your usb key

   > and lines 15 and 87 for zeneee-1.0-beta3

==============================
5- Install Grub on MBR usb key
==============================

	# grub
	> root (hd2,0)
	> setup (hd2)
	> quit

Examples with GRUB:
 
disk1 => hda => hd0 for GRUB
disk2 => hdb => hd1 for GRUB
disk3 => hdc => hd2 for GRUB

(hd0,0) => disk 1, partition 1
(hd0,1) => disk 1, partition 2
...
(hd1,4) => disk 2, partition 5
...
(hd2,0) => disk 3, partition 1
etc ...

====================
6- Notes for SD Card
====================

You might have to recreate the /boot/initrd.gz file
For this, look the /boot/initrd-tree directory
Edit the rootdev file 
	change /dev/sdc1 string by /dev/sdb1 (i have not tested this)
Remake the initrd.gz (it's a CPIO GZIP file) with the initrd-tree
directory

=====================
7- Users and Password
=====================

root/toor
zenny/zenny

==========================
8- Boot EeePC with USB Key
