Phil.. Here's the issue I had. I'm using a pc client booting from a usb stick. The stick contacts became intermittent. So I decided to upgrade to something that is still supported. If your new motherboard is the same structure as my thin client I have just done upgrade using a bootable usb stick with Irlp Iso on it. I can tell you how I did it if it's compatible.

I was able to find a board complete with 4G of memory on ebay. I have also been able to burn the ISO image Version 12.07 to a CD. The only thing is in that clearing out my box of PC junk, I threw away my old CD-ROMs. Then I noticed that the MB has no IDE port but it as a number of USB ports. And the MB has SATA ports so using a PNY 120G SSD should work. My question is this: once I have burned the image to a CD, can I simply copy all of the files from the CD to a USB drive and use that to install the IRLP OS? IOW, will the USB drive be bootable? Thanks in advance. 73, Phil N1BOW
