+ <title>Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting</title>
+
+<para>
+
+For preparing the USB stick you will need a system where GNU/Linux is
+already running and where USB is supported. You should ensure that the
+usb-storage kernel module is loaded (<userinput>modprobe
+usb-storage</userinput>) and try to find out which SCSI device the USB
+stick has been mapped to (in this example
+<filename>/dev/sda</filename> is used). To write to your stick, you
+will probably have to turn off its write protection switch.
+
+</para><para>
+
+Note, that the USB stick should be at least 128 MB in size (smaller
+setups are possible if you follow <xref linkend="usb-copy-flexible"/>).

+
+There is an all-in-one file <filename>hd-media/boot.img.gz</filename>
+which contains all the installer files (including the kernel) as well
+as <command>SYSLINUX</command> and its configuration file. You only
+have to extract it directly to your USB stick:
+
+<informalexample><screen>
+# zcat boot.img.gz &gt; /dev/<replaceable>sda</replaceable>
+</screen></informalexample>
+
+Of course this will destroy anything already on the device, so take
+care that you use the correct device name for your USB stick.

+   <title>Adding an ISO image</title>
+<para>
+
+Now you should put any Debian ISO image (businesscard, netinst or even
+a full one) onto your stick (if it fits). The file name of such an
+image must end in <filename>.iso</filename>.
+
+</para><para>
+
+If you want to install over the network, without using an ISO image,
+you will of course skip the previous step. Moreover you will have to
+use the initial ramdisk from the <filename>netboot</filename>
+directory instead of the one from <filename>hd-media</filename>,
+because <filename>hd-media/initrd.gz</filename> does not have network
+support.

+
+When you are done, unmount the USB memory stick (<userinput>umount
+/mnt</userinput>) and activate its write protection switch.

+
+If your system refuses to boot from the memory stick, the stick may
+contain an invalid master boot record (MBR). To fix this, use the
