Check out pendrivelinux.com, there are threads here that give a step-by-step tutorial for doing exactly this.

thank you meng!
I aim to use Puppy....it's simple but fast and effective.

Well with Puppy you can go one further ... if you burn to CD and boot, it will create the bootable pendrive for you! Depending on the size of your pendrive, this may be even better (although I'm not sure whether the live version uses compression). Also Puppy LiveCD has tools for repairing broken mbr's on pendrives.
