Hi,

I ran the "Install to USB Pendrive" script to (of course) install DSL to my pendrive.  No errors occurred.

My BIOS has 4 different USB booting options: usb-fdd, usb-hdd, usb-zip, usb-cdrom.   My BIOS boot order is:

CDROM
usb-(something)
hard drive

I tried all 4 different USB options, but they all just booted to Gentoo (main os) with the exception of usb-hdd, which gave an "Operating System Not Found" error.  Help!

OK.  I fixed this problem by repartitioning my pendrive and running the script again.  Now when I boot, it hangs for 10 minutes at "Searching for DSL image at /dev/sda", then it prints a big list of "Searching for DSL image at /dev/blahblahblah", then it says that it can't find the KNOPPIX image, followed by things like 'sed: command not found. awk:command not found' so I can't boot.  Help!
