i have a 128mb usb stick and id like to put a linux distro on it but im not sure which one, does anyone use a usb stick that small with a linux distro on it? i suppose most of you use Gb sticks, :p

it doesnt need to do much more than open text editors a browser and pidgin

just need some advice, was thinking of dsl-n
thanks

Write an .iso to a flash drive:

http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Or use Puppy's excellent installer (running from the Puppy live CD)...
