Hi Everyone
I will get straight to the piont. I want to have a cut down version of linux boot from a USB Key(128MB) or a CD but I would prefere the first option.

I have herd of STIXX www.stixx.org.

Is there any other options.

Thanks Brad

Have you looked at www.distrowatch.com yet?

Its best to install a small live CD type version to a USB key drive. It is possible to wear out the flash memory since it has a limited number time you can write to it.

Thanks Guys.

I am trying SPB Linux at the moment. because of its small download. But will try Mandrake Move some other time when I can be bothered downloading it.

Anyway Thanks Alot.
