Well, my problem is that my motherboard doesn't support USB-booting (or so I think..). I can't find anything releating to USB from the boot devices. So what should I do if my motherboard doesn't support USB-booting? Buy harddisk? :F

Sorry if my english sucks, english isn't my own language .

Umm, what does that mean? Floppy kind of boots my linux from USB? Url or something?

It means:

You create a DSL bootable USB pendrive.
You create a DSL USB Boot floppy disk

You plug the pendrive into the USB port, insert the USB boot floppy into the floppy drive and then you turn your computer on.
