The DSL 2.0 img was downloaded. The CD booted and DSL was installed on a Pendrive.  The Pendrive booted and networking was up on the first system.  The Pendrive is moved to another PC and it booted to XWindows but networking didn't start.  The message:
modprobe: modprobe can't open dependances file /lib/modules/2.4.26/modules.dep.  
Tried to correct the problem by upgrading to DSL2.1RC2. DSL2.1 PC2 couldn't recognize the pendrive.
Tried to create a link  from  2.4.26, which doesn't exist, to 2.4.31 but I can't write to the slice.
UGH.
The errors from RC2-
Example: vga=normal toram ssh nfs syslog lpd monkey ftp:
Choose language/keyboard if other than english:
Example: cs da de es fr nl it pl ru sk:
Ready to proceed. (y/..)? y

Are you sure your pendrive is there at "sda"?

Try:

dmesg | grep scsi -A 3

from a terminal window to find your thumbdrive device name

You need to add the

-A 3

so that you can see the next 3 lines after the word "scsi"

The problem with this error-

modprobe: modprobe can't open dependances file /lib/modules/2.4.26/modules.dep.  

was the version of linux on the floppy-usb.img disk used.  A new copy of the Current/floppy-usb.img was downloaded and the modprobe problem ended.
