I'm just repeating what is said here by ke4nt1:

This is for a 256mb pendrive.
In a terminal: ($ is normal prompt, # is root prompt)
Quote
$ sudo su
# sfdisk -S 32 /dev/sda
0 256
<blank, just hit enter>

# shutdown -r now
(just close the CD drive so it boots dsl again).

After restarting:
Quote
$ sudo su
# cfdisk /dev/sda
Delete all the paritions
Then create a new primary partition with size 70 (leaves you 20mb for 'dsl restore=sda1')
Then change the type to 6 (which is FAT16)
You can optionally create another (primary) partition using all remaining space to store other stuff (I chose Win95 FAT32 which is type 'b')


Then run the install script inside a term/shell so you can see any errors:

$ /usr/sbin/dsl-usbinstall
