USB booting :: Installin DSL on a 256 MB USB pen drive ???



I'm ready to try out DSL. I have downloaded the dsl-2.2.iso from http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html. But the problem is that is an CD image file and doesn't run when I extract the contents of it and copy them to my pendrive.

  Is there a place or link where I could download the "disk images" required for making a Pen Drive to boot using DSL ? How is it possible to convert the CD image to a USB image ?

I havent come across any page or site describing how I could make a Pen Drive to boot using DSL although DSL has been advertised as a mini Linux version that could be even installed on a Pen Drive.

Im awaiting your help to join the mini linix world !  :D
burn the file you downloaded to cd then boot from it and go to apps-->tools-->Install to USB Pendrive

and then choose one of the options (depends on what your computer's bios works with) and you'll be done

hope this helped  :)
You also want to use dsl 2.2b as it corrected an issue in dsl 2.2 with booting from a usb pendrive. One of the sweet virtues of dsl is that downloading a new .iso goes so quickly.
awww..... but do u hav to go thru the pain of burning to a CDROM and then installin on a Pen Drive ?  Cant we have something that does the Pen Drive one shot ?
Even on a SLOW CD burner, it takes about 4 minutes to burn the 50MB DSL image to a CD-R disk.

If you can't spend $0.10 and 4 minutes to burn the CD, I feel for you.

There are other ways to do the installation, but for my money this is by far the easiest way.
