Just a couple of questions. 1)For the linux idea. Is that talking about running linux fully off of the flash drive and if not, what about DSL? I have run DSL off of a disc but it kind of limits me because i cant actually download anything(no hdd) so would any excess space on the flash drive act as storage for me? 2)How do you go about (after installing drivekey and all that) do you install an app onto that flashdrive. What i mean is, how do you go about finding out what apps can be run(besides the fact that they must be bootable apps of course) is it a simple matter of pointing the installation exe to the flash drive as opposed to your hdd? Just trying to get an idea here appreciate it

I'd like to know this too. I've tried a few methods, but they've all failed. I have an OCZ ATV 8 GB flash stick. I need to boot BART PE from it. I already have the ISO (CD image).
