Is it to boot Puppy Linux or a big Linux as Ubuntu... Puppy is so easy to boot nowadays.. To boot easy, Boot Puppy..then Puppy will boot everything..

Well, it looks OK, but the only file-system supported is FAT32.
Needs to support Linux-fs's like ext2, 3, & 4. A prepared partition will get wiped and FAT32'ed.

I really should have guessed this as the big piece of info missing in the sales pitch was the format of the USB drive.

BTW git no longer supports my old FF27, so I can't get in there for suggestions.
