USB booting :: USB-stick has been eaten by linux pinguin : (

Good point.

i've got the same problem as darkcloud has - only difference: i can see the stick in windows (but only with 243mb of 256mb) and when i mount it in linux it's only 1,48mb large. but i can't mount that 243mb-windows partition in linux - dunno why.
i hope someone has any idea how i could fix that!

On a 256mb stick, often a small portion is reserved for driver data/etc. and you can't or shouldn't try to write to that part. If you formatted the stick as a FAT partition, then there's no reason Linux wouldn't see it or be able to mount it.
If it's NTSC, or something else, then that's another matter.

ok - i figured it out - i had the write protection turned on. now i booted DSL from live-cd and did "install on USB-stick". but then, when i try to boot from usb DSL begins booting and then it says: "couldn't find knoppix filesystem" - kinda strange, because the installation finished without any problems!

Try booting with:

dsl frugal nousb2 waitusb
