Hello,
I cannot install DSL in a 128 MB (mp3) PEN DRIVE.
I formatted it in Windows (fat) and I tried to install DSL with the tool Apps >> Tools >> Install to USB Pendrive

Here are some information. I hope that can help you:

1. My pendrive in recognized in /etc/fstab like follows:
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 auto noauto,users,exec 0 0

2. Type of choises in Apps >> Tools >> Install to USB Pendrive
type of installation: installation

use dsl iso from file ---- i tried also from DSL live CD, with the same result

vga=normal toram ssh syslog lpd monkey ftp

3. The log shows:

partitioning /dev/sda1

formatting /dev/sda11
0+1 records in
0+1 records out

applying syslinux to pendrive partition
/dev/sda11: no such device or address

setting up system image on /mnt/sda11... mount> /dev/sda11 is not a valid block device
error mounting usb device

4. Another information
I run DSL from the live CD.
The mp3 player is very cheap, with a Sigmatel processor.

Here are the questions:
a. Could you help me?
b. I didn’t format my pen with tools like fdisk. Do I have to do that?
c. My mp3 pen is (thorically) 128 MB, but ( in windows) the format tool shows a capacity of 121 MB. Do you think that could be the problem? (see on this forum  cRunky, Topic: MP3 Mass Storage - Cheap Chips! , 21 mar 2006)

Thank You.
Hangover

You have to write to install in "sda" not "sda1" in one of the first questions in the install script.

So later it creates the sda1 partition and not the sda11 partition.

Hope it helps.
