Hello everyone.

I have a little question:

How can I boot from USB if my motherboard doesn`t provide this feature?

I ask this because Mandrake Linux just came out with something named GlobeTrotter , this is the link
< http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/globetrotter >
and there it is somethin about a tiny CD who can help you to boot from USB  even if your motherboar doesn`t provide this
feature.

I have 2 USb stick`s and 1 USB hard drive.
I want to install Dan Small Linux or other distro and boot on any computer where I go even if the computer doesn`t provide de requested function.

Please help.


With all do my respect ,

Ergun

Yes, you can use the usb boot floppy prodived here: < http://ibiblio.org/pub....0.8.img >
Or, you can use the DSL 0.8.x CD and use the boot options
boot: dsl fromhd=/dev/sda1
