[PLUG] Learning & Success... (Success..!)

[Skool!lookS•InkarNatioN]

Don't know how many will believe this but ...

USB boot was using SDRam card of 4.0 GB inserted in camera type adapter. The card "received free" along Fly F-32 phone that was bought in year 2013 at Ponda GOA.

On same card I tried almost all other distributions previously Mint, CentOS as well as Mageia 6.  They did not work, neither could install boot loader.

Finally yesterday I cleaned MBR of disk using disk tools like I used to do if LILO got corrupted. 

Then today Mageia 6.1 live image booted cleanly.

Learning quite a bit along the journey..
