Hi,
I'm just trying out DSL for the first time, and its great!
I didn't have a usb flash stick to try, but then the file system got corrupted on my Mercury 128mb mp3 player/voice recorder.
I used the regular usb-hd install method for flash drives, and it installed without a hitch, DSL boots fine. Also the mp3 player used fat16 for the storage area anyways, so its able to find all the mp3's okay. For some reason when using the usb-zip method, the voice recorder function of the player doesn't work, I think its the partitioning scheme. Files record and play back, but after a little while disappear.
After the usb-hd type install, if I use the voice recorder it creates a directory /voice and stores .wav's in there. Personally I put a folder /mp3 on the drive for mp3's, and the drive plays them great. Mount the drive under dsl and I can play the mp3's with xmms.
At 128mb its not very big, considering I'm trying to store linux *and* music. But iaudio makes some cool looking players, they have a larger capacity and play ogg and flac. I wonder if any of them would do the trick..
Anyways I posted about it on my new blog in more detail, sorry no pics
