[IDEA] Boot XBian from USB

[Mark]

Lol! It seems that I am not meant to be able to copy the / and/home to usb. I went back to the originally posted Mk01 rsync commands and get

Code:

So my questions.

Is it worth it, spending more and more hours trying to make this work for me? Should I wait until you put that option into the Xbian menu? Is it even worth it..., having xbian on usb?

Sorry but I am becoming verry verry angry / frusterated about this problem I have tried every thinkable method of solving, given the provided tools.

Thanks for your patient, support!
