hello Meo,

I just finished to download the dsl-embedded-1.1.zip (was quiet long and i had to restart three times). I then unzipped to my key (danelec 256 Mo fast usb) wich was previously split into two partitions, 120 + 124 Mo, Fat16, an the geometry is ok, i followed the instruction from the howto i'd downloaded. But after unzippping, nothing happend at boot time (boot failed), wich make me think that i'ts not so straightforward to install dsl. (as you only mentionned to unzip)

in the doc there is mention to bootimage, but i wish to use only a linux system to make this key ready, and i do not understand how i can do this from (for instance) suze 9.1. Will you be kind enough to give me a track ? I've been trying to read the docs, but the site is not very easy to understand, infos are sprayed allover, so if you could help !!!

Thanks in advance,

vince

Hello again!

As I mentioned before it's a good idea to format the whole drive with fat32 without partitioning (just one big fat32 partition). Then there should be no problems at all. If you can't do that from your own box borrow someones windows box to format the drive it only takes a few seconds.

Have fun,
meo
