When beowulf came out, I was trying to save myself a little money and tried to add \
the beowulf installer to a 16GB stick that had a couple of other distros  on it. \
there were rescue distros, disk cloning, etc.  I was using Yumi to add the beowulf \
installer to the collection. It puts the iso in a subfolder then adds it to the grub \
menu for the boot loader on the stick. It does that with all of the distros on the \
stick. Each one hoes in a subfolder. The Beowulf installer refused to run from that \
subfolder. After an hour or two of "WTF is going on," I ran dd to write the iso image \
directly to the stick and the installer ran fine. 

I hope that helps,
Curtis
