Of course you can boot from HD having the DSL data on a usb stick..

Thanks for your input, curaga...

:)

So, I assume that what you mean is I can have

A) DSL installed on my HD and run it from there and

B) use a USB stick as a place to keep my data files....

A) is right, but for the usb solution I meant that you would only have the kernel and initrd on your HD, and they would boot DSL from the usb stick.

Meaning you would have both DSL and your data files on the usb stick...

OK, I get it now, I think, curaga...

Thanks again for your help...
