Simple Instructions to boot via CD:
This can be burned to CD using basically any burner program you like that support writing ISO-images.
The CD will boot with most BIOSes, see your manual on how to set it to boot from CD. Some will auto-boot when a CD is in the drive, some others will show a boot-menu when you press ESC or F10/F12 when it probes the disks, some may need to have the boot order adjusted in setup.
Simple Instructions to boot via USB:
1. Copy all files from this CD onto the USB drive.
It cannot be in a subdirectory on the drive.
You do not need delete files already on the drive.
2. Install the bootloader:
On the USB drive, there should now be a file "syslinux.exe".
Run this from a command line, like this:
j:\syslinux.exe -ma j:
replace j with some other letter if your USB drive is on another
drive letter than j:
If it says nothing, it did install the bootloader.
Tested CD and USB method with success!
