I'm really out of luck. I tried on another computer that had USB-HDD, USB-ZIP, USB-FDD options and none worked. How do I know if the syslinux procedure worked correctly?

If syslinux worked correctly, it will write a file named ldlinux.sys in the root directory of your USB stick.

You could try to burn a DSL CD, boot from it and use the right-click menu to make a bootable USB-HDD

On a second computer I tried I got it to boot after I explicitly forced the bios to boot from the USP disk (pressing F8). DSL is pretty impressive! Great job.
