What's the smallest distro compatible with firefox & flash?
 
I am looking for the most compact distro that offers the best in a web browser only, it should contains (or can easily have installed) Firefox (gecko) and Adobe Flash. Compact size is important because I want it to boot off of live CD and load into ram (needs a TORAM boot option).

I've looked at Puppylinux (it has bon aqua) and Damn Small Linux, but they are incompatible installing Firefox with Flash.

Any ideas?

I have no problems using Firefox with Flash on Puppy Linux.
You can also try Tinycore Linux.

How did you install Flash onto Puppy Linux?

I do not know of any small 'live' distro that comes with all the codecs and FF default installed and probably the reason being they are two of the largest and the fact they are proprietary software. As mentioned above your best bet is to design and make your own live cd.

Sorry for the late reply. Simple answer to your question: I didn't install it, it worked out of the box after installing Firefox.
