I was wondering which linux distro besides Puppy liunux has its own installer that allows for dl's onto a flashdrive or any other things like internal hd,because puppy linux is good but it involves too much on the prgramming side and also doesn't have a BootSkin which is something i like in all OS's?

If you like Puppy, Wolvix (http://wolvix.org/) will blow you away.

Wolvix like Zenwalk is Slackware based, so this is about the closest to what you want.

Well with Wolvix it won't work because my gfx card is too out of range for it and i removed Puppy linux from the flashdrive because the internet wouldn't work at all and it uses SeaMonkey so now...i guess its time to go back to Windows XP.

I would go with one of those better Distros like Ubuntu or Knoppix or maybe even OpenSuse but with those its a kinda bit too programming on my part,still haven't taken lessons so i was also wondering if there are any shortcuts anywhere?
