USB booting :: Installing Linux On USB pen Drive

I can boot DS Linux from CD, but it doesn't mount my USB. Would anyone tell me how the mount the USB. I am new user in Linux system.

Thanks for all of you

To mount the USB pendrive, do this.

Plug it in.

Boot DSL.

Start up the emelfm file manager

Go to the

/mnt

directory.

Right-click on the "sda1" subdirectory and choose "Mount" from the context menu.

When you are done using your USB drive, go back to this directory /mnt

and Right-Click on "sda1" again and choose "Unmount" from the menu.

Wait a couple seconds and then you can unplug the device.

When i click on the desktop and choose install/for usb pendrive,
It asks me:
1)is it instalation/upgrade, i choose instalation
2)Use DSL iso from Live CD, File, or Web, i choose Live CD, and it writes:

'Not supported from SYSLINUX CD version'

For those who need documentation or a step by step howto for DSL on usb pendrives, a new book has just been released.

Chapter 6 is all about installing DSL to a pendrive.

And, no, I nor the DSL project, get anything from the sale of any books.
But I do think we should support those who acknowledge our project.

When I tried to install DSL onto my pendrive I get a message about a bad block device SDA11 after the initial partion on SDA1 is created then the install halts. Any thoughts?
