bootable usb [JussBuzz.com]Install the .iso contents non-destructively onto a USB partition. Leave out all the partitioning or formating stuff to prepare an existing and used USB drive for DSL booting:
Note: All path names are examples! Please adapt or you may corrupt existing partitions or files.
  1. Mount USB drive, with e.g. mount /dev/sdx1 /flash – can be either FAT16 or FAT32!
  2. Mount ISO image, with e.g. mount /tmp/dsl-3.2.iso /tmp/iso -o loop
  3. Copy all contents from ISO to USB drive: cp -vr /tmp/iso/* /flash/
  4. Rename and move syslinux files to root directory: mv /flash/boot/isolinux/* /flash/
  5. Rename isolinux.cfg: mv /flash/isolinux.cfg /flash/syslinux.cfg
  6. Unmount USB drive: umount /flash
  7. Install syslinux: syslinux /dev/sdx1 and eventually set the MBR boot flag for this partition (with fdisk).

We can do this easily as it is a service from Gmail of which many people are still unaware about. Here is how.

instant preview
Firefox being itself a successful Opensource software with tons of features, It has opened a Addons platform for all users so that users can contribute their free addons  and other users can use them for free. These Firefox addons are the third party programs that are integrated into your browser application, usually providing additional functionality.
Prospector Instant Preview is that restartless Firefox addon that makes the highlighted result on the Firefox address bar automatically gets loaded in the browser window. It means by the time you confirm the  first result, the page might be already ready for you.
For instance, If you want to checkup some  information like CNN, weather or business, let the page load the preview and once you’re done, hit <Esc> to get rid of the preview and return to where you left off.
