my system boots to a usb device but it would never work for me (DSL would alwyas say it couldnt find the knoppix files)all i did was take the usbboot image and write it to a floppy and it boot directly to the floppy and then went automatically to the usb device.
there is no need to go thru all that in order to boot to a usb device where the bios doesnt support usb booting.

Thank you for the kind reply. I hadn't seen it yet. Now I have. It's extensive. And indeed, just a dd with bootxx.img is enough. I am very happy with dsl.
