Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

i am attempting to run DSL (dam small linux) from my flash drive using grub, however im running into problems getting grub to boot DSL from the flash drive. i have extracted the contents of the dsl 3.01 ISO to a ext2 parition in my usb flash drive, here is the relevent contents of the isolinux.cfg
DEFAULT linux24
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt24.gz nomce noapic quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix
TIMEOUT 300
DSL does boot but after it gets done scanning for USB devices it tells me the following
cant find knoppix filesystem sorry
dropping you into a very limited shell
knoppix#
From the limited shell, what does the end of dmesg show? Did it find the USB drive? Does the usb drive contain the requisite /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX or similar image?
