Renaming the knoppix file didn't work. The boot process is still freezing on 'looking for DSL image in /dev/sda1.'

Should I try fat16? Or should should I try switching the boot priority in the bios from USB-zip (1) to USB-FDD (2). This is so strange....

Thanks for your helping me once again.

That did it... I made the first boot device USB-FDD instead of USB-zip... it booted into the OS. But my mouse doesn't work.

It's a Microsoft USB optical intellimouse. Any thing need to do to get the mouse working? Keyboard works just not usb mouse.

Ah, I assumed you were already using usb-hdd.

Just wondering - are you using a laptop?
You could run xsetup (either use it as a bootcode or run it from the menu or run xsetup.sh) and select USB mouse.
