My USB key was not found by DSL on booting with the live CD (RC1). It also didn't find the file system when installed manually to the keyfob. I found out minirt24.gz was not loading the usb modules properly, so I edited the file linuxrc and now I'm happy :

Ungzip minirt24.gz, mount the file minirt24 with
Code Sample
mount -o loop minirt24 /mnt
and edit linuxrc (you can use as a model the linuxrc from Featherlinux, an other distro based on Knoppix where Usb support works out of the box). You might also want to copy the module uhci.o to /modules/scsi. When you're finished editing umount minirt24 and gzip it again.

Of course this is all done in Linux. Enjoy DSL  :D

Ok, many thanks. I'll try it.
Could you be more precise about the module uhci.o ?
What's the linuxrc file and where is it ?
Maybe you could be more precise and explain me the method step by step...

(Sorry, i'm a newbie)
