How to Put DSL on USB

DSL is so small, you can fit it on a USB drive.

DSL is an acronym for the operating system "Damn Small Linux." It is so small, it can be installed on a 64 megabyte USB storage device. It is basically a trimmed down version of an early version of Knoppix Linux. Being a Linux operating system, it is open source and 100 percent free to download and use for as long as you want. DSL is especially useful for older, slower computers that don't get a lot of use anymore.

Things You'll Need

• DSL install files
• USB drive

Instructions

1. Download the necessary DSL files. (See Resources.)

2. Click on the Universal USB Installer once and press the "Enter" key. This will start the installation script to install DSL onto your USB drive.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions that the script provides to install DSL onto the USB drive. When the instructions say you're finished, you can unplug your USB drive, because DSL will be installed on it.
