USB booting :: how to get it

I dont know what to download in order to actually get DSL, or any other Linux distribution for that matter. DSL is the first Linux I have tried to get so any detailed help would be MUCH appreciated

The first thing you should do is download the .iso file. In this case the most recent is dsl-1.4.iso
This can be found here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/

Once you have that downloaded open your cd burning program and burn it to a cd using the option such as "record cd from image" or "burn image". That will give you the live cd which you can boot from (providing your computer is set to boot from cd before hd). From there you can install or just use the live cd to check it out.

EDIT:
Sorry, I forgot I was in the USB section of the forum  

Since you said you are new to linux I am assuming you still have windows. Here is a link that explains how to imprint it on your usb drive.

thanks! appreciate it a lot

Hey. Sorry if I result to end up as a 'forum leecher' or however you guys want to call someone like me   . But, a friend of mine told me about this great website, and I just couldn't resist the temptations of working with DSL.

Anyway, direct to my point: I have absolutely no idea of how to make my pc boot from CD! I have burned about 8 discs already (hah, I didn't find a RW!), trying to do boot stuff with nero to boot from dsl 1.4.iso. Any help, on how to boot from CD will be INMENSELY & GREATLY appretiated! I've been working 2 days straight to get this working, and google results aren't very accurate (even searching by keywords). Thank you all.


Regards,
James.
