Hello, the syslinux.cfg of bootusb-0.8.img has the option 'frugal' for each entry.The syslinux.cfg of boot-0.8.img doesn't have the option 'frugal'. For a normal use with a USB key, which is better? Apparently, my USB DSL works equal, I don't know the differences. Posted by roberts on Mar. 14 2005,21:42
The boot-0.8.img is "the boot floppy" for use with a cdrom.It does not have room on the floppy for all the drivers that would be available when booting from the cdrom. The bootusb-0.8.img is "the boot floppy" for usb devices, no cdrom, since it is not a good idea to do a full install of DSL onto a usb device, it is assumed that it is a frugal install, ie, a compressed image install. Frugal specifically supressed the "wait for cdrom to eject message that would only apply to cdroms. Posted by rvs on Mar. 15 2005,15:31
Ok, I now understand.
