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? |
