USB booting :: USB Boot Guide

I did it works!
But in BIOS don't forget set boot device USB-HDD.
And in the formating tool i've forget set fat32.

Hi
Thanks for the great tip - it worked a treat - and such amazingly concise instructions for a Linux install! - however although it works and boots from my one year old Dell Inspiron 1300 I cannot really do anything with it - particularly it will not recognise either of my network cards - a Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller and a Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card, (nor will it play a CD.) All of the network config tools state "No network card found" - if I run the QUME emulator through WinXP it will at least use the Broadcom network card but that is not the point - I would like it to use it when I boot from the USB stick itself. All and any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

That dell wifi uses a broadcom chipset as well but I don't think you can use it natively - you can use ndiswrapper for it.

But this is off-topic.

Hi,

I have a very annoying problem...
I followed your guide and everything worked fine on my computer...but...
I also have a Dell Optiplex GX620 and i tried to boot DSL on it...
it works until a bit after the usb-scanning is completed.
then he only says "sorry, no Knoppix filesystem was found" (something like that

) then i only see:
Knoppix#

and my Keyboard won't work...the keyboard is an usb-device just like the mouse...i can't replace these

well if i boot with "nousb" the keyboard works fine but there still ist the filesystem problem.
I'm searching for an answer since monday

it really gets on my nerves...
even failsafe mode didn't work...

my suggestions are either the usb causes the conflict (keyboard indicates something like this) or a hardware problem (which will be fixed by some really easy command i didn't see)
It worked when i started DSL in windows XP but i need it to boot directly into DSL...any ideas?

thanks
