Any DSL frugal installation boots off compressed containers anyways - having it in one zip won't get you any size differences - its like that for easy transfer.  (not to mention you'd have to have something else read that zip beforehand, and extract it anyways.. etc.) Of course dsl-embedded comes with qemu related stuff that you may delete if you don't need it.

I got advice to use the HP boot utility, so I did.

I ran it to make a USB HDD, and then dragged knoppix.img fom the embedded version of DSL onto it.

It boots, but only takes me to the Bash command line.

a) What do I do at that point?
b) What other files am I missing to make a normal boot?

Thanks,
Arithmomaniac
