Eire 2015: - 37 days

So, a month more or less is what is missing for the start of my trip to Ireland . Landing at Dublin, leaving from Cork 18 day later. Some nights in Hotel/Hostel/Private apartment, some nights trekking and sleeping in a tent. And today... I bought the tent! And some other things like pots and sleeping bag and stuff (shirts, trousers, an inflatable mattress...).  But something is missing... (please check below a close up). You see that blank space?

Biked back home, watched some video on Youtube, read some news (procrastinating, it is called) and finally time to download Manjaro 0.90, install Unetbootin and create the Start Up disk. Done! Now it's time to stick it in: reboot! It doesn't run!! Meaning that a "B oot failure : No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" error was showing. What the... !!! WHY?!? Faulty copy of the ISO? Nope. Wrong installation process from Unetbootin? Nope! Wrong pc?!? Nope. It turns out that the Fat32 forma
