Fast reply, thanks! And oh, yes, of course!

My problem is that I have a WinXP machine, which I cannot alter to much since it is not mine. This is why I would like my UDB drive to run linux.

Now, I already tried formatting the USB-drive, unpacking the "dsl-embedded.zip" to it and syslinux'ed it for boot.

The loading of the USB drive gets as far as

"Loading the Kernel"

and freezes. I guess it never actually loads the kernel.

Would you have any other suggestions?

Oh, and it worked... i just added

-hdc //./h:

to my dsl-windows.bat file instead (note the /'s instead of my original \'s which threadstarter suggests)!

trying to mount the device now from the WinXP embedded DSL, i get:
Code Sample

#mount /dev/hdc /mnt/usb
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: No medium found

He could've been using the dsl-linux.sh one that might be slightly different.

Not sure about this... you could boot with failsafe or some other boot options perhaps
