How to install portable Damn Small Linux in USB drive?

Damn Small Linux, as its name says, is an extremely small linux distribution.It will take around 51MB disk space.We can port the DSL just like that in a pen drive.Also we can store the worked files in the usb pen drive itself. It is just like we have a fuly installed computer in hand in a usb flash device. We can take that to anywhere we want and just need to enable the bios option boot from USB device. Also set the usb device as the first boot device in boot device priority.

Minimum Requirements for DSL with X-window

• 486dx or 100% compatible processor
• 16mb ram (24mb recommended)
• dual-speed CDROM (quad-speed or better recommended)
• 1.44mb floppy drive (for boot floppy, if needed)
• VGA monitor and video card
• a mouse (serial, ps/2, usb)
