Other Help Topics :: DSL on USB-Stick HOWTO

Hello DLS-Dudes...

My problem is that after booting the CD "dsl-0.9.3-syslinux.iso" the insmod ehci-hcd failed with "Operation not permitted". And cdrecord --scanbus yields that I have a USB 2.0 Stick. That's because the answer of the tools is:

Scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) 'USB' 'Flash Disk' '2.00 Removable Disk'

And fdisk -l also fails with

Cannot open /dev/sda
Cannot open /dev/hda

And also cfdisk /dev/sda fails...

My system is relatively new. It's an ASUS A8V Deluxe Board with AMD 3200+ CPU and lots of memory.

I am lost now. When I boot "RIP9" or "FC3" then I have no problems with fdisk.

I haven't tried insmod 'ehci-hcd' with the aforementioned distros because I am too tired to do so at the moment. sorry.

Any help?

Hi all,
First of all I want to thank doom4 for the very useful HOWTO;
I would like to know how to remove applications from dsl, the problem is this : in the laboratory of my university runs only winxp

and the only way to use DSL is to use the embedded version with qemu.
The embedded version is about 110MB large and I've got only a 128MB usb pen

.
How can I do?

Thanks in advance for every answer.

Get rid of the 60MB virtual hard disk that comes with dsl embedded.

Or make a much smaller sized hard disk instead. Go to the qemu web site for more details.

This is not only a matter of disk space, I would like to create my own dsl removing applications that i don't need and adding applications that i need.
Anyone can help me?
