Okay.... i have been reading around and still cant find the asnwer i am looking for...

I have a 256MB JumpDrive.

After pendrive install i now have 50mb partition and the rest is unusable

HEre is my goal...

I want to be able to boot from this when needed. But i also want to be able to place stuff on a extra partion becuase i still need to use windows for school and home.

So again..

50 MB partition for booting
the Rest for storage.

Thanks in advance for teh help :)

I would like to do the same...I have tried the Install to USB HDD option, but when my pendrive boots up, it cannot find the kernel image.

Can anyone help?

Boot DSL from livecd.

Do a USBHDD pendrive installation.

It will restore your pendrive to a single partition.

In order to do a full HD install, you will need to copy the /boot folder from the livecd over to your USB drive.

For USB boot problems, try creating a USB boot floppy and see if you can boot using floppy+USBdrive
