I have a 256MB USB flash drive and managed to get DSL 1.2 installed on it a month or two ago. But the partition layout is around the wrong way. That is, there's a 50MB partition for holding the compressed Knoppix filesystem, then there's a second partition for holding user data. This is 200MB for my device.
I had previously loaded useful software on my device and would like to continue doing this. With the current layout, on a windows machine I only see a 50MB "disk", and it's like 99% full. So what I would like is to reverse the partitions. Have a 50MB second partition with the compressed filesystem, essentially invisible to windows. Leave the "rest" available as the first partition, where it's easily accessable from windows. It would also be nice if this MyDSL stuff saved its backup.tar.gz file in a seperate directory. That way I can continue using my USB flash drive for storing other data but also boot into it.
I've tried doing this myself but haven't gotten too far. I'm trying to get my head around what the "linuxrc" script is doing in the initrd image, and what I need to change. Any suggestions or feedback?
