I have a 1Meg USB pen-drive with Mandriva One booting from it.  
Obviously the
machine will need to be capable of booting from USB.  I can't remember how
I did it, it was quite involved, but a quick Google on the subject was 
all I did. I
found a very good page with lead-by-the-hand instructions that worked.
