USB booting :: init not found?

Yep, it's all in caps. So that's not the problem...

I'm impatient... anyone going to help? I must have DSL on my keydrive!

Have you tried booting the USB on any other computers?

desNotes

OK, give this a try.

Download DSL version 2.1b
Burn it to CD
Boot from CD
Do a DSL USBHDD install from the menu.

See if it works any better than the 2.3 version.
DSL 2.1b contains a newer version of the linux kernel so it MIGHT work.

I haven't yet been able to test it on my only other applicable machine, but I did try 2.1b. No difference, just says "looking for KNOPPIX CD-ROM in /dev/sda1" then, after a minute, says it cannot find the KNOPPIX filesystem and it drops me to a very limited command prompt.
