Boot DSL from the livecd
Choose Install to pendrive USBHDD from the menu

Enjoy your single-partition DSL/windows USB stick.

I am also having trouble with USB flash drives...

I have tried to do a UBB install on two different flash drived and both installes looked like they worked but they did not really. Now I have two flash drives that are missing 8 megabytes on each. I have not found a way to recover this space.

I tried to overwrite the first physical sector of the pendrive with zeros like some one esle posted
(dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 <-- replace 'sda' with your correct device)
But that did not work.

I have tried cfdisk but I can't figure out how get cfdisk to select my USB device?

I had a similar problem with the usb-zip-pen thing. I sticked it back in, chose "usb-hdd" instead. I entered the letters for my pen and now it is working perfect.

hope that helps you
