ok, the first time i installed DSL i had this wonderful guide...

i remember it telling me to format the usb stick to FAT32....
i also remember doing something else in windows after the files were on the stick(i think)...

am i making up memory's, or do i have to do something else?
do i just have to extract the files and through them on the stick and im done?.... thats WAY too easy,,, make it harder lol, jk.

If you want to natively boot off the key, you'll need to install the bootloader to it (if not already present).

I think syslinux or grub are the usual contenders.
