i can't remember if you can boot to command line in ME (perhaps F5 or something), but if you can, then use loadlin to boot the files.

I would recommend you buy a usb floppy, a lot easier that way.

this is just for my laptop so it's not that important, on my desktop pc at home i've got a linux distribution installed...

but here where i'm atm i can't get a floppy device that fast... so i gotta try with my mp3 player as usb HD or give in to it and use ME...

okay i can now run dsl within windows using the embed version and QEMU. but how can I install it on my external usb HD? (it's a mp3 player (creative zen photo sleek) with a partition that it can be used as a sort of HD)

plz don't send me links to the dsl wiki where it's all described... the prob is I don't get it whats written there....

i'm afraid the downside with the embeded version is that it can only see 'virtual disks', (i.e a file pretending to be a disk). i don't think it can format and init your usb device.
