Fred,
   Thanks for the help.  I have created the image file and put it on my
usb device, but I haven't be able to boot it up.  I tried 2 different
memory keys(Cruzer mini 1.0 GB, Memorex TravelDrive mini 1.0 GB) on 2
different machines and had no luck.  I know I booted from usb on these
before and have the boot order set to be usb device first.  I'm not sure
what the problem may be here.  Here's how I setup the usb media before
dd'ing the file over:

mke2fs -j /dev/sda

tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/sda

Let me know if you can offer any help.
Thanks,

Chris.
