I am trying to install Damn Small Linux to a USB key drive, I have searched through the forum and couldn't find anything about how to finish the process. I have extracted the iso to the USB drive, and have used syslinux, and read the page about how toBoot KNOPPIX from an USB Memory Stick page (http://rz-obrian.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/knoppix-usb/), what I am trying to figure out is how to create the miniroot file from windows? And what else I need to boot to the USB drive? My Dell laptop has the boot option but all I get now is no OS found.

Do I need to burn the image to a cd and boot the OS and then follow the instructions or is there a way to do it from windows?

I apologize if this is a repeat, I did search and didn't find anything relevant.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
