Don't know about others, but the people I know do check the media :)<br>

Of course not by the default path (which is "boot from HDD").

No, I was saying about the automated media check I have seen at some
distros (in the past) after clicking install.. a check that you can't
bypass.<br>

I guess you might like to discuss possibilities with
Michael Kangin (mak@altlinux) who implemented the LiveFlash
in mkimage profile, and it *seems* to me that this path is
hardcoded in installer -- IIRC it wasn't moved to features:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.altlinux.org/people/ldv/packages/?p=installer.git">http://git.altlinux.org/people/ldv/packages/?p=installer.git</a>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.altlinux.org/people/inger/packages/?p=installer.git">http://git.altlinux.org/people/inger/packages/?p=installer.git</a>
Another place that's concerned is alterator-pkg (optionals):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.altlinux.org/people/ldv/packages/?p=alterator-pkg.git">http://git.altlinux.org/people/ldv/packages/?p=alterator-pkg.git</a>

I'd also probably have to introduce you to mkimage, and translate
at least the basic docs at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.altlinux.org/Mkimage">http://www.altlinux.org/Mkimage</a> and
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.altlinux.org/Mkimage/Desktop">http://www.altlinux.org/Mkimage/Desktop</a> if you decide to join
the party ;-)

I'll probably join the party soon.. I'm kind of starting learning
russian because I have been planning some trips over there, to the
mountains, so .. I am OK with the page in russian.<br>
So, with some reading and help of some translation tools, I'll probably
be in the party :)<br>
I have read about mkimage, but didn't (for now) start building
anything. I'll probably build something soon, because I need some disc
to do it all, with what I want, with my settings, for servers for
example.<br>
