I GOTIT WORKING!

It didn't like mounting /dev/loop0 from my toshiba tablet PC.

I tried it again from a DELL 450 at my job and it worked fine.

Thanks all!

i got an error with the frugal_usb.tar.gz:

gzip: Invalid magic
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

does this mean the .tar.gz file is coruppted? i get this error if im trying to manually extract the .tar.gz or using dsl-usbinstall.
any ideas/suggestions?

have u checked the md5 value to make sure your download was correct?

How do u install DSL onto a USB or Flash card from within an existing Linux Distro (Gentoo).

I was unable to load the ehci-hcd module on my Compaq Evo N110 laptop. When I try "insmod ehci-hcd", it tells me "Operation not permitted"; yet if I try "sudo insmod ehci-hcd", I see that there is "no such device". All the other modules are present.

Silly question: do I really need this module to go further?

Thanks,
Tim
