Problem
Imagine you have a server that wont boot from USB CDROM drive or have no internal CDROM drive. Or even you prefer to install from a USB stick instead a physical media.
Solution
Create a USB stick with SME software on it
Requirements
You'll need a usb stick with more space than the sme.iso something like 800mb should do
Tested with Sme 7.3-51 and 8R6b, so download one or the other iso file.
the latest grub4dos, no Grub/Grub2 wont do. download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos/
I used 0.4.4
Creating USB stick
copy the file /images/boot.iso, and renamed to SMEboot.iso.
On USB edit the menu.lst to include this
title find and load SMEboot.iso fallback 7 find --set-root /SMEboot.iso map /ubcd.iso (0xff) || map --mem /SMEboot.iso (0xff) map --hook chainloader (0xff) savedefault --wait=2
