specifically what i am trying to do is create an extremely minimal install of a debian based Linux distro that will fit on a 512mb flash drive. So far, I've tried a lot of distros and none of them have what I'm looking for. I've tried doing a CLI install of ubuntu and then only installing XORG and Gnome, but the footprint is far too large. I've tried Crunchbang Lite which is also too large. I tried out Dpup (a Debian build of Puppy Linux) which I can't get to boot. I tried out a distro called Bonzai Linux which has everything I'm looking for except for gnome (it has KDE), and I can't figure out why nothing will install through Apt. I'm thinking that a DamnSmallLinux hard drive install is the way to go, but I can't figure out how to install gnome.
