help in Malaysia

Hi, I am in KL on biz. XP on my laptop is broke (don't laff). So I used my Fedora USB key. I broke that. I need to get hold of a linux live CD or USB image in KL/Malaysia. Any ideas? A minimal download would be good!

stumbled across a copy of linux format and set up my usb stick again. I'm using that now.

I found the markets of minimal assistance. Bah! These days in Malaysia they want to sell top end stuff. I tried a few stalls and gave up.

When I was at school, Batu Road was a virtual paradise for buying all sorts of things, followed by an ice-ball with syrup or a glass of iced coconut water by the bridge next to the Klang River.

Alas, that wasn't yesterday. Good Luck with your Linux Format disk. A good Magazine.
