Sometimes, when messing around with domain names (the DNS system), you’ll mis-type an address, and be unable to access your site for a significant length of time. Assuming that the incorrect entry has not been cached on another DNS server somewhere between you and your host, you can clear the list of cached addresses on your own machine to resolve the problem.

KIWI is a new tool released by the people behind OpenSUSE for creating customised distributions. One of the best features of it is that the images created are portable. However, documentation is scant at this time, and the instructions for deploying an ISO image onto a USB device are buried deep in the manual.
The actual process for copying the file is simple, however, identifying the right drive can be tricky.
