=======================
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)
	# mkfs.ext2 /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 and copy files on your usb key
=======================================

Create a tmp-zen directory into your home directory
	$ mkdir /home/foo/tmp-zen

Move the zeneee-1.0-beta2.tar.gz file into tmp-zen directory
	$ mv zeneee-1.0-beta2.tar.gz /home/foo/tmp-zen

Change directory
	$ cd /home/foo/tmp-zen

Untar the tar.gz file
	$ tar -xvf zeneee-1.0-beta2.tar.gz
	$ mv zeneee-1.0-beta2.tar.gz /home/foo/an_other_directory

Copy files on usb key
	#cp -Rp * /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
===========================================

Replace the UUID by the previously determined
(look at the lines 15 and 76)

==============================
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
==========================

Insert your USB Key on EeePC
