I have a big problem:
I have a usbkey of 4 giga and I do all the procedure to create a usbkey with a damn linux, but I have a problem with the syslinux because when I install the syslinux in my usbkey the shell return that I have a device with more than 16k cluster.
The grub and lilo don't want install becuse there are problem with the usbkey and the bios.  :(
Some ideas?

Hi rabinhood!

Have you tried dsl-embedded? The only thing you have to do to get it going is to format your usb-drive with fat32 and unzip the dsl-embedded.zip file to it. It won't work directly with some bioses though. But if that's so in your case you will be able to boot it with a dsl-cdrom with the following commands at boottime: dsl fromhd=/dev/sda1 qemu frugal xsetup (that's the way I use it with my Sandisk Cruzer Titanium usb-drive). Hope everything works out for you!

Keep on having fun with this wonderful distro,
meo
