Yep i can't boot from a USB device, its an old laptop IBM 570 366Mhz ;)

Now i have to ask the question:
why there is no installation image that i can boot from the hard disk!

Can i creat the installation image on a partition?
Then boot it with grub?

Can i cross compile the system, then boot it?

tnx
