Can't find Feather Linux filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.

I have tried with feather linux, pure flonix and the above flonix with dls knoppix folder. Same shit. Got any ideas?

That would be because Feather and Flonix both are incompatible with DSL in that respect. Have you tried the DSL USB boot floppy?

Well, i have downloaded it and written it to a floppy. But i dont really know how to use it.
What files should be in my usb ram drive when i use it?

Thanks for the help
