:(  I am wanting to explore dsl however do not have a cd drive. I have the dsl .iso and a flashdrive.  

Is there any way i can put linux on my flashdisk without the need for a cd.

I have tryed to use WinISO to extract the files and place them on the flashdisk. Upon boot i choose to book from the disk but recieved the error "Operating system missing"!

Please help!!! ???

Hi Kipper

You dont need a CD really, follow my instructions below

1) Download and install IsoBuster

2) Download and install WinImage

3) Use Winimage to Write the bootusb-x-x.img to your FAT formated USB thingy

4) Use IsoBuster to open and 'drag and drop' all the files in the dsl-.x.x.x.iso onto your USB Key

That should be it

I hope this helps you and others who read it

I'm new to this "Linux-on-a-USB-flash-drive" thing and had a couple questions:

Should all the files from dls-x.x.x.iso and boot-usb-x.x.img be in the same directory?

How do I run it?
