How do you boot linux from a flash drive?
look into DamnSmallLinux they do a great job! it should boot right off of the flash drive if your bios supports it. if not, you can setup a floppy to start things off and then let the flash drive do the rest. and its only about 50mb. ive heard of puppylinux too, but never tried it.
Reply:You have to setup your computer's boot process from the start screen. such as USB cd dvd etc.


And you have to format the flash drive to use it first. All other questions can be answered from the Flash Linux page and its user forums.
