Please look on the wiki on USB Booting - there are some hints there.

Well I just looked under that,but it I still dont understand most of the stuff or what the guide is talking about.Like whats a "Terminal Window" I barely know any of these terms because Im not a computer genius.Thats why I asked if someone could explain it to me more briefly.

Terminal Window means to open some sort of shell prompt, like aterm. ( see the black box looking thing on your desktop, or see the menu under XShells )

For in-depth look...

After you download the iso, you need to burn it to cd as a image at 4x on a cdr, then set your computer to boot off the cdrom, then just boot from the cd. When you get to the desktop right click on it to get the menu, look through the menu till you find install to usb, there are 2 options depending on what your system can boot.

Make sure you read dillo when it pops up those are basic instructions for DSL linux.
