What does "contie" mean?

Please use some punctuation in your writing. Hem mean the Dämn Small Linux, a Live boot CD.

Rather that install it on the hard drive, it would be better to put it on a small USB flash drive. Then set the BIOS to boot from USB.
Or just boot from the CD, it is very quick.Aw, Dämn, ER, shucks. anyway how do i get it to boot i think i may have deleted the PARTITION on my usbYou have to change the boot order in BIOS. Do you know how to do that?i can not get it on to the usb?This was copied from the link given below.

Requirements

Method IV has unique requirements. Methods I through III need:

* You need to know your USB drive letter. These guides assume that your USB Flash Drive is "F:". Please replace "F" with the correct drive letter.
* You need a USB flash drive (also called flash disk, pendrive, USB stick...), 64 MB or bigger
* Download the current dsl-embedded.zip from a mirror (49MB - The Torrent is recommended, and is often the fastest)
* Get & install Syslinux version 3.00 or greater (read the Syslinux instructions for installation)

USB Drive Notes

You might look for your USB stick on this list. If you have comments about a particular USB drive that doesn't WORK well when installing DSL from Windows ... add that here.

* For the record, stay away from cheap, knockoff USB keys...they're fine for Windows and stuff like that but apparently they don't always like DSL. (thanks to SaidinUnleashed for this advice.)
* San Disk Cruzer drives are a special case, and the built in software "CD Emulation" must be turned off. (anonymous, 2 Jan 2008)
* SD cards are perfect for DSL and can be used just like USB Drives. They usually have higher transfer speeds, and many laptops have a built-in reader for added convenience. Also, almost no bios problems. Install the same way as a USB Drive.

[edit]
Method I

Follow the instructions from PendriveLinux

Notes

* If you are running Windows Vista, remember to start cmd.exe as Administrator, otherwise the normal cmd.exe won't be able to access the MBR of your USB drive.
* Booting from USB may or may not work on your computer, mostly dependent on its age and bios setup. Some systems may have problems booting from USB drives formatted as FAT32. Changing the drive format to FAT16 may allow DSL to boot. To try it, change your format argument to:

FORMAT F: /fs:FAT
