How to make a Damn Small Linux USB Flash Drive:

  • Download and run Dp.exe, a Dp folder is created (It is on Athena, let me know if you need it)
  • Download the dsl-embedded.zip and move it to the Dp folder Click Dp.bat from the Dp folder and follow the onscreen instructions
  • Once the script has finished, reboot your computer and set your system BIOS or Boot Menu to boot from the USB device
  • On Dell Latitude 610, I had to use the following boot options: dsl acpi=off vga=normal fb1024x768 toram
  • Type "sudo [command]" in a terminal window to run a single command with root privileges. This is generally considered the best idea. To get a root shell, type "sudo su".

  • If running using qemu on windows, modify the startup script to
  • START .\qemu.exe -L . -no-kqemu -m 128 -localtime -soundhw es1370 -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX -append "qemu vga=791 quiet noscsi nousb nofirewire atapicd noideraid noacpi acpi=off noapm noagp ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe nomce frugal"
