Yes you can.

And it propably works just fine. However there is a (small) risk that your mp3 player wont play mp3:s anymore!

If I was you I would backup the MBR of the mp3 player, write down the geometry (cyls/heads.. etc) and make a poor mans install. (ie. copying the files manually to the mp3 player..)

One way or other you will need to boot into DSL to get it to the USB stick. The CD is the best way. Can you get to a computer that will boot from the CD?
