How am I supposed to know whether my PC or Mac is USB bootable??  I guess it's related to BIOS stuff, not to OS.

Anybody any hint here?  It's important because this very distribution is supposed to be portable, so possibly launched on somebody else's computer, right?
Was: Mac Mini PPC running MorphOS 2.4
Now: Amiga Forever 2010 with AmiKit and AmigaSYS
Not used: Icaros Desktop 1.2 (reason: no wifi)
Planned soon: an OS4 system
Shortly then: a MOS notebook (wifi is a must-have)

Your PC-BIOS should be able to tell you whether it can boot from a USB device. Enter the BIOS and look for a section called boot or something similar.

@ AmiSake

Thanks.  

But according to this having a USB boot BIOS option is not enough.

Damn!
