    Help me install xPUD to a flash USB.

    It claims to be superfast on bootup(check out the youtube link on that page) and I wish to test this.

    Unfortunately I do understand how to install this to a USB flash drive.The syslinux file mentioned, turns out to be an .exe file, confusing me even further. Google reveals nothing.

    I've tried it, but it can't really do much yet. Most of the features have not yet been implemented.
    If you want to install it:
    1. Unzip xpud-0.8.5.zip into your pendrive.
    2. Unmount your pendrive and install syslinux
    Code:
    syslinux /dev/yourpendrive1
    That should work

    Could you mind telling me what the resource usage is like when you get it going?

    It's hard to say, they don't give you a terminal, or any virtual terminals. You can't actually do anything with it yet, but it does look promising.

    That's fascinating. I'm giving it a try in Qemu.

    None of that was actually in the distro. For most of the menu options, it says "Oops, this is a not yet implement feature" when you click on them.
