hansolo makes a good observation in USB booting posts.

DSL for USB flash drives, a zip file, ( or gzip, rar, whatever ),
with BOTH a script file installer & a DOS batch file installer
that would format, copy, & syslinux the USB complete.
Maybe even some instructions for WinBLOWS idiots like myself
who can barely operate in Linux at all.
Seems Winnies being introduced to DSL-Linux is pretty important
& should be painless, so as to convert as many as possable.
Wacha think guys?

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.

It still seems a lot easer than answering a lot of Qs from burfs like me.
The instructions aren`t newbie frendly, & after all isn`t every WinDoze only geek nothin more than a newbie?
DSL IS the perfect bait to get folks to jump ship!

! Not simple enough? I wrote the USB key in Windows DOC and I know its simple. Like four trillion people have been successful with it! And SU wrote the other doc on geometry...it should be pretty straightforward as well.
