I've found an easiest way to make my DSL Live Pendrive under Windows only.

(snip)

Yet, I don't know if it works with every pendrives and BIOS.

lenaisan.

This method worked for me on three different flash keys:

 1.  A Transcend Jetflash 256 MB
 2.  A Crucial Gizmo 512 MB
 3.  A Sandisk Cruzer 1.0 GB

ONE TIP:  On my Thinkpad T30 it matters which of the two USB ports one uses.  Viewed from the back I use the right hand port.

Once you have the install files installed to a directory it only takes a couple of minutes to set up a new key.  Cool.

Thanks for your help - I really had a struggle with this before reading your walk-thru.

I have a SanDISK curzer micro 256MB

I only created one partition for 75MB with FAT16 as the file system.

When I run frugal_usb.sh, it fails when it tries to mount bootusb-0.8.img to /dev/loop0

It says the device does not exist. I see it in the /dev folder.

I even took all the steps manually. It can't mount the "boot" folder with the filesin the img and also when it tries to copy the KNOPPIX folder, it fails there as well. I can alwassy copy it manually, but really need help wit the /dev/loop0 issue.

Your help is greately appreciated.
