I used syslinux to make mine bootable, using this information: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_to_a_USB_Flash_Drive But, instead of putting DSL on it, I copied the contents of bootdisk.img to the flash drive instead. > The second problem machine is a headless machine.

Can I boot bootdisk.img from a usb stick and do a headless > install? Use the methods above, then create a kickstart file.

I've made too many mistakes in kickstart config files and had it hang waiting for input. :) - Ben
