I bought this USB stick off this website from the people running the project.
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/usb.html

I read the readme.txt included, but it didn't help much.
I can't follow the instructions about what to type at
the boot: prompt, because it jumps past all that, fails to find
the Knoppix filesystem and drops me to the knoppix# prompt.

"Dropping you to a (very limited) shell."
only 'cat' 'mount' 'umount' 'insmod' 'rmmod' and 'lsmod' are available.

When Running from Windows:
Double click on 'dsl-windows.bat'

dsl-windows.bat:
===
REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF

It used to say, KNOPPIX/knoppix, but that produced the same errors.

There will be no boot-prompt when you run DSL using qemu. The equivalent of the boot prompt is what is written after -append on the command line in dsl-windows.bat.

To see error messages from qemu please open a command prompt, cd to the root of your USB stick and run dsl-windows.bat from there.

Try to download dsl-3.1-embedded.zip (if that is your version) and compare the KNOPPIX file on you USB stick with the file in the zip.
