I wish to install a disto on my 128MB pendrive. The requirement is that it should have some program to read my presentation and word files. I don't need the whole Open Office.
Which would be the most suitable?

Linux on a 128MB pendrive ?
M
whole oo.org and a distro with X on 128MB. Is that even possible?
C
Isnt *www.damnsmalllinux.org/ something like this ?
M
openoffice.org itself is 159 mb.
I should just be able to read my presentations. Or better still, also my word documents. I usually use the OO format to save.

for word documents there is abiword, but it doesn't read odt yet 
As for presentation, one way around is to export them as pdf and install xpdf, which is quite light.

If it is just for the presentation I recall NucleusCore talking about portable apps. If I recall correctly I think Ooo is one of them . So check that out. If the above is the case then you don't need to install the distro which might help.
ok. So which distro should I go for? Puppy?, DSL?
It's not just for the presentations. It's just so that I can give presentations on the (always)virus infected laptop in my college.

why don't you purchase a bigger drive, as Flash drives are pretty cheap these days.
I think you can get a 8Gb for 800 so, as my friend told

Ya I am thinking on those lines too. But I don't want to buy anything less than 8GB and currently I am a bit poor

Actually it does, there's a plugin that does it.
I dont know where you can get it though, never bothered to look as it comes by default with zenwalk.
P.S : odt rocks!!
WHERE?I think you can get a 8Gb for 800 so, as my friend told
Did you try SLAX. You need at least 256 MB drive.
