tce/restore on FAT32 USB with syslinux WITHOUT partitioning USB-can it be done??

(1/3) > >>

Hello TC people!
Just wanted to know if I could have tce extensions and mydata.gz on a single partition FAT32 usb (sda1) and boot with syslinux?
I don't wanna use grub or partition my usb.
Thanks

libertyernie:
It's perfectly fine to have it on one partition. :)

linus72:
OK- I tried that but at bootup it says errors and chown etc and won't restore the mydata.gz and tce's and says it's all read-only!
And, when I loaded my normal Ubuntu desktop and inserted the usb to see what's up, the window popped open and everything had a "padlock" symbol on it and it wouldn't even let me delete anything!
I tried chowning as root "sudo chown -R bz /mnt/sdf1" and also "sudo chown -R bz /mnt/sdf1/mydata.gz" etcetc and it says can't change permissions of read-only fs!
What to do?
Any ideas or does this happen only to me?
Thanks

..and you can also have a single ext2 partition and boot with extlinux

roberts:
Some are doing this via virtual drive ( an ext2 loopback file ).
Typically a Qemu setup, but it works standalone.
