So I installed DSL on a CD-RW and tried to boot it, no go. It froze after it found my USB devices, when it was checking the next line... "dev/" something.

When I ran it on failsafe, it said "Filesystem not found, sorry". So I did... something, not quite sure what, I know I put the KNOPPIX directory for my FAT32 D drive. Im not sure if that's why it works now, but it only works under failsafe.

The problem is I want to save it to USB disk, and I imagine thats impossible in failsafe mode, because i dont think it checked for a key. I  also dont even know what the key drive is called for when I want to partition it.

Any suggestions would be nice.

Try the syslinux version.

Okay, and I would run everything the same way?

You boot from the CD. When it gets to the boot menu you can pick some options fromt the F2 and F3 menus the same way. The difference is that the syslinux version seems to boot better on certain computers because it loads a different combination of hardware drivers.
