Oh yeah I like plop it emulates being a cd rom thus enabling the functionality of usb booting. Thanks for the reminder. Unetbootin and tuxboot are also good linux alternatives if you wanted to create a live cd from a linux os. Or the dd command to send the iso to the usb, aprently you dont need to add ms-dos bat file or a grub system managers, as they embed it on the iso (linux live cds only, regarding dd)
I boot off a USB drive using plop and some times it stops working and need to reinstall plop. Purchased a reaver pro and so far not impressed. save your money and use software in PC and directional USB antenna. .
