Hi, I have tried to install KNOPPIX 7.3 on an USB disk using flash-install. The process aborted with an error message from syslinux: unsupported sectors size.

The disk has a size of 250 GB and uses sectors of size 4096 bytes (Verbatim Pocket Drive, 1.8").

I have installed the latest version of syslinux from "Debian Experimental" (6.03~pre1+dfsg-3) but the same error occured.

I may try harddisk install instead but I'd like to have an encrypted "container" for any private file in /home, /var etc. Harddisk installation would require me to manually set up this configuration :(

Any suggestion?
