RC7: can not boot from USB
#1
I am having a VERY hard time to get RC7 to boot a PC from a USB drive.  I saw in another thread that PCs that use UEFI are not supported.  Fair enough.  I have an over 12 year old Dell Optima desktop that does not use UEFI for booting.  However, no matter what I try, I can not boot RC7 from a USB drive.  

I do not have any PCs left that can burn the ISO onto a CD-R (the PC with an internal burner is dead and the external CD burner no longer works).  Is there any way to boot RC7 without burning it onto a CD-R?

Which image are you using? No offense, but the "basics" are ok? (md5 good, boots elsewhere/VM etc)

If you are using CD image, see John's post

Yep, you can use a USB to install. Here's how:

1. Plug in a USB - naturally Wink
2. Go to Rufus.ie and install Rufus
3. Open Rufus and click SELECT and choose the .iso file for Damn Small Linux
4. Click START and it will create a bootable USB stick
5. Stick that sucker in your computer and hit whatever key you need on startup to get into the boot menu
