    Thanks stefanello for the help. But the problem is not getting iAtkos on a USB (Because this is 3 or 4 threads on how to do that), but the problem is getting iDeneb onto a USB. There is just to much steps to install iAtkos. The end resluting OS, iDeneb takes the cake.

    So the Problem remains the same, trying to get iDeneb on to USB

    I finally succeded installing iAtkosv5 without an external DVD. I followed the instructions on this thread but it was not that easy. I couldn't boot the installation flashdisk. First I tried with a 8GB flash disk but it never worked. Then I tried with an external HDD and it worked but it cost me a lot to set ID=AF with diskpart. It never worked when I tried to do it from the AspireOne booted with XP so I connected the external HDD to another computer with Vista where I made the change to AF. After that it was quite easy following instructions from here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... 5&t=153352

    Now I want to change to voodoo kernel and find a solution for the WLAN card (change it to Dell 1390 or make it work).

    Ok, for all the people how can't pass trought this step, and giving this error:

    Image file:F:\iATKOS_5i.iso
    Type: iso/hfs.
    File size:2831122432 Bytes
    Image size:2830565375 Bytes
    Driver d: not empty,try another!
    Dump image file to driver,please wait...
    Change partition type to AF: not a HFS partition
    Load boot1h: not a HFS partition
    Load startupfile: not a HFS partition
    Add boot.ini menu: Success
    All done, have fun!

    That's because we were using a 64bits windows. I tried again with a 32bits windows and it works at the first time!

    I had problems with iDeneb too. I bought a 4GB flash drive especially and then found that the image was bigger *slaps forehead*. Going to try iAtkos when I finish work, left it copying to the drive using Leopard Helper when I left this morning.
