libretto, It may work when embedded in cdrom, I actually haven't had time to check that out yet. Not enough hours in a day.

rapidweather, yes it is still not a good idea to run a live filesystem off a usb device. But the KNOPPIX folder is a read only compress image file. That should be OK.

The boot floppy will work with both a vfat pen drive and a partitioned ext2 pen drive. I have also tested with restore=/dev/sda2 and it worked. So KNOPPIX in sda1 and backup in sda2.

USB 1.1 speed is not impressive. USB 2.0 is pretty good.

And DSL is so small, you can have DSL and a fair sized backup on a 64MB USB pendrive.
