reference:
http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=3790

Date: 2005/1/20
OS:
windows 2000
FreeBSD4.7 Stable

Flash Disk:
Transcend JetFlash 256M

HardWare:
DELL Latitude D600 notebook

Software:
3 files
WinIma70.exe
bootusb-0.8.img
dsl-0.9.2.iso
http://www.winimage.com
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/damnsmall/current/

1. on FreeBSD4.7 get 3 files:
dsl-0.9.2.iso size 51240960
bootusb-0.8.img size 1474560
winima70.exe size 96709

fetch ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....9.2.iso
fetch ftp://ibiblio.org/pub....0.8.img
fetch ftp://ftp.winimage.com/winimage/winima70.exe

2. convert iso into directory
vnconfig -c /dev/vn0c dsl-0.9.2.iso
mount -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt
mkdir ~/dsl92
cd ~/dsl92
(cd /mnt; tar cfv - .) | tar xfv -

3. switch to window 2000 system
ftp 2 files (bootusb-0.8.img winima70.exe) and one directory (dsl92) from FreeBSD4.7
format flash disk as FAT (not FAT32)
install winimage 70
run winimage --> File --> Open --> bootusb-0.8.img --> Disk --> Use removable Disk F: -->
Disk --> Write Disk --> yes --> File --> Exit

4. Copy file system into flash disk
run window file manager --> goto dsl92 directory , boot , isolinux --> copy all files here to
your flash disk / --> go back to dsl92 directory --> copy all directory here to your flash disk /

5. umount your flash disk and reboot using your flash disk
now you should be able to boot using flash disk

Thanks for your help!

I finally managed to boot DSL from my Lexar Media to a Shuttle PC (after some days spent in trying with no luck!).

Have USB SanDisk Cruiser-Mini 256Mb stick
ASUS P4T(i850) + P4 computer
Nforce4 Ultra 400 + A2500 Barton

guess what? none worked out. OK, nforce seems to can't boot from it(just "insert a system boot disk...etc"), but i850 just hang on after post and no message (before format & and image it's just displayed message "no system" or something like that). Any ideas? I really don't wish to make MenuetOS boot stick

Hi Somebody,

I am in "Window Xp" and how can i use this :

**********************************************
2. convert iso into directory
vnconfig -c /dev/vn0c dsl-0.9.2.iso
mount -t cd9660 /dev/vn0c /mnt
mkdir ~/dsl92
cd ~/dsl92
(cd /mnt; tar cfv - .) | tar xfv -
**********************************************

Can "UltraIso 7.5.0.986" do the same ?

Thanks !!!
