First have to say that i really like your distro, but its useless for me until know cause i only have big (700MB) and to small (30MB) cdrs here... now is it possible to boot DSL from usb?
That would be really cool.. you could even save thing on it...
so anyone tried this, or isnt it possible yet?
THANKS

BYE

50MB is the standard for business card cdrs. There is a link in the 'off site' section of this website to a howto about booting DSL from a USB stick.

Unfortunately my BIOs can't boot from USB or IDE cdrom.

Know where I can get a bootdisk to boot either of these?

I think you can take the boot.img from the above link and burn a floppy from it.
