First of all, what size is this key? Does the computer you plan to use to boot from allow booting from usb devices? Are you trying to put an entire image of Slackware on the key?

1) 64mb
2) My MB is an asus K8V-SE Delux i think that i can do a boot from another device
3) I would like to put an reduced image of slackware or debian
I tried to download zipslack but now i'm in holiday and i've only 56kb for internet and this file is 40mb

You can't really have a viable system beyond CLI with that key. As for putting some form of Slackware on there, try using Slax.

It's just 50MB DSL 1.4 is awesome and it will work providing your BIOS allows boot from usb.
