besides and OT, am I too stupid to install LE (I used the 7.0.1 image) on a bootable USB stick?! Possibly yes. Did a quick test with two different 8G USB sticks and both did not boot after I installed LE on them. The install stick by itself worked and I was abel to select the traget USB stick. Both showed some warning 'don't mess with boot... going back to ... " or something during boot. In case this should work would anybody point me in the right direction (best by PM I suppose) on how to get a LE install on an bootable USB stick. No hurry please, I'm on a business trip and back on Sunday.

I just wrote (using dd) the uncompressed LE 7.0.1 image to a 4GB USB stick, booted the 4GB stick then created the system on a second 8GB USB stick (option 1), then booted with the second USB stick without any problem (this on an AMD UEFI based system). I'd suggest trying a different memory stick (or both). If you don't resolve the issue, a new thread would be best.
