What about the limitation on how many times you can delete information before the device wears out (thinking of things like the /tmp and /var partitions/directories)?

Boot from a LiveCD of Puppy, from "Setup" menu you will find an entry called "Puppy Universal Installer". Select that, and follow the simple instructions. or Boot from a LiveCD of Puppy, use ISOMaster and extract the 3 files: initrd.gz, vmlinuz and pup_xxx.sfs. Copy those to your USB drive manually. You will probably have to mount the drive first. ( http://puppylinux.com/flash-puppy.htm ) Follow the caveats and stuff. They recommend this method only for an upgrade of an existing USB Puppy system.

One intended assignment is a portable bootable Linux drive. Anyone want to show off their "Least Steps" methods to install Puppy or other small Linux onto this? Both for someone who does NOT have a linux box and /or from Kubuntu 7.04.
Thanks in advance
