I got a present of a 64MB USB key for which I have no real use. So I thought about putting a bootable linux OS on it...
I've had a look at feather, puppy and DSL, which all come in at under 60MB, but the installation instructions never matched the files available in the ISO, for all three distros, which was a bit annoying.
Can anyone recommend a good distro which comes with a matching, understandable howto for booting from a USB key?

There's some command line instructions on there about halfway down the page which you may find helpful. :)

As for which mini-distro is best, it's up to you to choose. All of them have a good support community from what I gather as they're all projects which require a lot of effort (to keep functional yet small).
