[ubuntu-uk] FW: Linux on a USB pendrive

[Ian Pascoe]

Could you install an equivilant of a Live CD onto a USB device?  Although I appreciate that this doesn't answer the original question, I'd guess it would speed up the experience of using a CD?

    Have a go with Damn Small Linux.  It has an option to install to usb.
    Also because it is debian based you should be familiar with how it
    works.

  You might also want to try Flashlinux (flashlinux.org). It's designed not to kill your usb key with a special filesystem, but its for 256MB keys, and hasn't been updated in a while. Although, you can get it working on larger keys.
