The pendrive-usbhdd.sh script in /usr/sbin is broken.  It works up until the last step, when it tries to copy the kernel and the initial ramdisk.  It tries to copy /cdrom/boot/isolinux/linux24 and /cdrom/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz but the directory /cdrom/boot does not exist.  In fact, I don't know where the kernel is when I try to copy it manually.

The new release of DSL looks excellent.  If not for shaky WPA support in the backported ipw2200 driver, I would be using it on my production machine.

EDIT: I believe I discovered the problem.  /dev/shm is mounted on /cdrom, not /dev/cdrom1, so it only sees the KNOPPIX filesystem on /cdrom.  Manually mount /dev/cdrom1 on /cdrom2 and copying the kernels is a temporary fix.

I added the code to prevent this situation as was/is in v3.4.x..

It is always better when trying to do installations not to use 'toram'.
Leave the ram availble for quicker copying.

Thanks for reporting.

@roberts

Someone has uploaded this RC (and others) to LinuxTracker for downloading using a torrent client.

LinuxTracker has assigned a seperate catagory for DSL.

Can you add this link to the download page?

http://linuxtracker.org/browse.php?cat=104

I have been playing with xdelta and have also uploaded a diff file for 4.1-4.2RC1 to see if this had any worth to anyone (Saves 10Meg download)

Regards Phil
