USB booting :: sda1 = "Irregular" = cdrom? Argh...

Cool Beans

I'm running DSL 2.3 RC1

I first booted on CD, then right clicked went to apps > tools> install to pendrive > hdd pendrive

Then I right clicked on the desktop again and went to apps > tools > make boot floppy > USB boot floppy

The system will come up, seems to work fine. The mount tool in the lower right hand corner says sda1 is mounted (not irregular)

I clicked on MyDSL and selected multimedia > audacity 1.2.2 > OK > DOWNLOAD

This put audacity in the ramdrive folder /tmp.

I clicked the Emelfm icon and started emelfm as root. Then I navigated to /mnt/sda1 and clicke Mkdir button, gave / optional as the name for the new directory. The directory showed up in the left pane.

I then navigated to the new directory in the right pane and then in the left pane navigated to /ramdisk/var/tmp and clicked on audacity 1.2.2.tar.gz. Then i clicked the move button hoping to put audacity on the 128Mb pendrive.

In the box at the bottom was this message:

mv Write error: no space left on drive

I removed the pen drive and plugged it into another machine. I then looked at "propertie"s for the pendrive. The report indicated 70+ MB of free space.

The pendrive is an Apacer handy Steno 1.1
The computer is a Gateway E-3200 350Mhz-PII upgraded to 450Mhz.
512Mb ram, no HD and I have removed the CDROM.
Pheonix BIOS 4

I'd like to have the machine boot up with audacity ready. What should I do?
