One strange thing I have run into lately with the usb boot.img floppy. IF you have any /KNOPPIX installed on any hard drive, or on CD in the CDROM tray, then the floppy will find one of those, probably ahead of your usb pen drive. So, one has to use it on a computer with Windows on the hard drive, and no /KNOPPIX folders anywhere. That leaves me out on this box, as I have three partitions that have those folders in them, for my remastering work. In testing the usb pen drive, I would have to remove those hard drives (unplug them) and just use a simple Windows or Redhat hard drive, with no /KNOPPIX anywhere, but on the usb pen drive. What happens when the floppy finds on of these partitions with a /KNOPPX in it? It has problems booting up normally, and shows a lot of various error messages. I used to test a new remaster by putting a /KNOPPIX in /dev/hda1, and the normal boot floppy would find it and boot it normally. Have not tried that with DSL 0.8.2 with the isolinux booting setup. ---
