And in the formating tool i've forget set fat32.

Hi
Thanks for the great tip - it worked a treat - and such amazingly concise instructions for a Linux install! - however although it works and boots from my one year old Dell Inspiron 1300 I cannot really do anything with it - particularly it will not recognise either of my network cards - a Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller and a Dell Wireless 1370 WLAN Mini-PCI Card, (nor will it play a CD.)  All of the network config tools state "No network card found" - if I run the QUME emulator through WinXP it will at least use the Broadcom  network card but that is not the point - I would like it to use it when I boot from the USB stick itself.  All and any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards

Hawkstar

Broadcom 440x: http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=10880

That dell wifi uses a broadcom chipset as well but I don't think you can use it natively - you can use ndiswrapper for it.

But this is off-topic.

Hi,

I have a very annoying problem...
I followed your guide and everything worked fine on my computer...but...
I also have a Dell Optiplex GX620 and i tried to boot DSL on it...
it works until a bit after the usb-scanning is completed.
then he only says "sorry, no Knoppix filesystem was found" (something like that ??? ) then i only see:
Knoppix#

and my Keyboard won't work...the keyboard is an usb-device just like the mouse...i can't replace these :(
well if i boot with "nousb" the keyboard works fine but there still ist the filesystem problem.
I'm searching for an answer since monday :( it really gets on my nerves...
even failsafe mode didn't work...

my suggestions are either the usb causes the conflict (keyboard indicates something like this) or a hardware problem (which will be fixed by some really easy command i didn't see)
It worked when i started DSL in windows XP but i need it to boot directly into DSL...any ideas?

thanks
SeelenGeier
