I have booted from CD went to Install to USB Pendrive ands then the following appears:

Error USB Install kit not found press Enter.

Where should I look for this file ? and how do I kick it off manually in a bash window ?

I am new to linux how can I check to see that my USB Pendrive is mounted ?

I tried dmesg | grep scsi -A 3 and it said that removable disk sda at scsi2 channel 0, id 0, lun0

Does this mean the USB pen is okay just that for some reason the script cannot be found.

As I said I am new and step by step commands would be great.

It means that your USB device is located at "sda", so you should type "sda" when prompted during the USB install script.

If you are trying to install from an older version of DSL, you need to be connected to the Internet in order to download the USB installation programs.

For the latest version of DSL you do not need to do this.

I thought I did get the current version I got 2.0.

Anyway I have downloaded:

pendrive_usbhdd1.tar.gz

How do I install this? where do I extract it to ? and how do I launch it by running the pendrive_usbhdd.sh ?

When I put the USB Pen into the USB slot does it mount itself automatically ?

The reason I ask is that in the pendrive_usbhdd.sh file it mentions:

echo "4. Do not have your pendrive mounted."

How can I check to see if the USB drive is mounted ? I am new to linux and commands etc.

If you type:

mount

it will tell you all of the mounted filesystems.

There should NOT be a line item that refers to your pendrive's devicename

/dev/sda1

for example.

DSL does not automatically mount your USB drives, so this should not be a problem.

I thought that DSL 2.0 did not download the install script from the Internet any more, so I am at a loss to explain why you got the USB Install Kit not found error.
