Other Help Topics :: installing to my mp3 player



is it possible to install dsl to my rio cali mp3 players 128 mb of memory, and still use my mp3 player with the expanstion card?

i know that i can save files and pics to the mp3 player and use it as a genral purpose drive but i cant delete bookmarks ( i dont think or it auto recreates it).

I would love to have dsl on my mp3 player as i take it most places..

If your mp3 player is one of those that is also effectively a usb ram pendrive then you could search the site/board for info on how to install to a usb pendrive.
yes I can install as if it was a pess drive , but the problem is that the mp3 player creates a file bookmark.??? ( where the ??? is something i cannot remember) so if the file system has changed it may not be able to create that file and thus will not work.

can you install DSL onto a pen drive forrmated fat????
and keep it formated fat?? and bootable???

or should i just spend the 30$ and buy a pen drive and keep forgetting it when i leave the house???

Yes, you can install DSL to a FAT pendrive. Search the forums for USB FreeDOS loadlin

But yes, you should just pay the $20-30 and get yourself a second device.  DSL will use up a big chuck of your MP3 player, so why not just get an additional device?

If in the USA, search http://www.salescircular.com for specials on USB storage devices.
Installing to a device that wasn't quite meant for it is keen and spylike. :)
