Hello, I'm Louis de Médicis, I'm new to the board.
I got a problem trying to boot KolibriOS from USB. I followed Yogev's advice here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/kolibri ... p_activity to the letter, but my USB fails to boot KoOS, presenting a:
"Remove disk or other media
Press any key to restart" screen.
See attached PDF with screenshots.

If you notice in the screeshots, this time I used the "inst.exe" instead of the "mtldr.exe" as suggested by Yogev, and now the machine has this message:
":) KolibriOS boot loader, FAT32 Flash version"
and is taking a long time to process. Maybe my hardware has some problems.

Rename kolibri_pcl.img to kolibri.img and try again.

Hello, again!

It's been a long time since I gave feedback, so here goes:
I finally was able to boot KolibriOS from a USB Flash drive, by using Rufus!
Unfortunately, I can't test the kolibri_pcl.img anymore, as I currently don't have access to a PCL printer.
So, I think this thread can be closed.
Also, to note: hidnplayr mentioned to me, a while back on IRC, that he was able to print the demo pages using a PCL printer, so I guess the drivers are good!
Regards,
