hello,
can any1 please tell me abt how can i install PC OS linux or any other simple to use version of linux which has all the softwares i need preinstalled... kinda like a live CD...
i have PCLINUXOS Live CD... but i want to install linux on my 1 GB USB drive... please tell me if it is possible... and if it is, how can i do it...
here are the things i have:
1. PCLINUX OS LIVE CD
2. 1 GB USB drive-bootable
and i dont want to use any of my hard disk space...

damnsmalllinux.org

Damn small linux is very good considering it's size.

hmm... is damnsmalllinux easy to use? cause basically i wana try out linux and learn.... how easy to operate is it?
in preinstalled applications, there aren't any applications listed on their website for playing videos,songs or even messengers!

i downloaded damnsmall-0.4.8.iso....
and there is also a file called "bootusb 0.8.img" i'll download that...
but how to install the system into USB drive?
n also what partitions will i have to create in my 1 GB pendrive? kindly specify their sizes each for boot,swap and root.....and also their file systems
thx in advance

o there is also a file "damnsmalllinux 0.6.1.iso" should i use that?

According to me, use puppy linux. It has got all the software one needs and size is around 60MB.

i installed "SLAX" linux-'KILLBILL edition' on my pendrive.. www.slax.org
but i am having problems with "saving the changes" directly on my pendrive...it is not saving any changes i have made to the system...

i.e. it is still booting from pendrive as "LIVE" system...its not saving any changes!
