Hi folks,

dsl-2.2b

I tried to install DSL pendrive from DSL-LvieCD without success.  My PC can support both USB-ZIP and USB-HDD booting.  The LiveCD is running without problem.

First I tried installing USB-ZIP without success.  Nothing has been installed.

Then I tried installing USB-HDD.  This time installation succeeded.

# ls -l /mnt/sda1
Code Sample

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   2048 Feb 28  2006 boot.cat
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root    119 Feb 28  2006 boot.msg
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   1592 Feb 28  2006 f2
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   1595 Feb 28  2006 f3

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  33780 Feb 28  2006 logo.16
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 802165 Feb 28  2006 minirt24.gz
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   2653 Feb 28  2006 syslinux.cfg


But the pendrive failed to boot during booting only hanging on screen.  OR whether waiting for input?  I'm not very clear.

I selected vga and on other language only hit [ENTER].  Please advise whether I have to select "toram"?  Where can I find the installation maunual?  Only a short description was found on FAQ.

TIA

B.R.

Hi folks,

I got it done, by reinstalling it as USB-ZIP.  This time I succeeded.

DSL is now running on USB pendrive but the speed is a little bid slower.  I'm running Avixe Platinum Flash Drive

Avixe Platinum Drive supports;
19MB/sec (read) - max
14MB/sec (write - max

Would installation on USB-HDD have better performance?

I suspect Avixe Platinum Drive can't boot on USB-HDD.  Is there any way to check it?

TIA

B.R.
