Bug Description

I was playing around with customizing the Edgy Beta 1 CD to boot from a USB pendrive.

It doesn't work with current casper for two reasons:
1. /lib/udev/path_to takes a full /sys/block/sd? path, not just /block/sd?
2. the regular expression in the casper script is an extended one (using parentheses and a pipe), you should tell grep

The second is already fixed.

Changed in casper:
