..Just curious, 'cos this'd be the coolest thing on the planet...
Has anyone got Linux to run off a memory stick???
Imagine..or a memorystick watch like this one?? (http://www.cashncarrion.co.uk/cnb/shop/cashncarrion?listPos=&productID=92&search=&op=catalogue-product_info-null&prodCategoryID=24)

I've been able to get Linux to boot off a 256 Meg CF(LNX-BBC), but that watch is just to kewl! imagine the possiblities with a gadgit like that :)

..I just bought a memory stick (OK, I got Kingston, 'cos they're reputed to be good) for about €20 less...) (i.e., 3½ pints of Guinness)

Yeah, it's possible. Go to damnsmalllinux.org , and go to the "notes" section (I think). I'm not sure if it's specific to that distro, or more general-purpose.
While you're there, check out the distro, itself. Well worth the bandwidth!
Here's a distro (http://www.ncsu.edu/resnet/runt/) which runs off a 128MB USB pen drive.

You can boot Linux while scuba diving down to 30 meters. :cool:
NASA are considering using Linux as well:D
