a translation of this for OS X:

0) insert your usb drive. it will mount automatically.

1) download current bootusb-x.x.x.img and dsl-x.x.x.iso

2) open DiskUtility and get all the info on your drive
2a) erase it and reformat it as "MS-DOS File System"
2b) make sure that you note the "Disk Identifier" in the info screen
2c) unmount the partition on the usb drive.

3) open a terminal
3) cd to the directory where you saved the images
3b) type "sudo if=bootusb-x.x.x.img of=/dev/diskX bs=512 count=1" where diskX is the "Disk Identifier" from step 2.

4) disconnect and reconect the usb drive.

5) double click the iso file to mount it
5a) drag the KNOPPIX folder to your usb drive.

6) Double click the bootusb-x.x.x.img to mount it
6a) select all the files and drag them to the usb disk.

7) eject the usb drive and have fun!

i try using winimage but the "write disk" option is greyed out.  is this because it's an unregistered version?

I was getting the same issue at first.

Reread the instructions and note the file extensions, winimage is for the .img, this is not the .iso that you mount in daemon tools and copy to your key drive.

I hope this helps

PS- The .img is located at ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....0.8.img

did you format your 512mb drive using FAT instead of FAT32?
