Installing Linux to a 4gb usb microdrive

[James Sissel]

What about the limitation on how many times you can delete information before the device wears out (thinking of things like the /tmp and /var partitions/directories)?

Boot from a LiveCD of Puppy, from "Setup" menu you will find an entry called "Puppy Universal Installer". Select that, and follow the simple instructions.
or
Boot from a LiveCD of Puppy, use ISOMaster and extract the 3 files: initrd.gz, vmlinuz and pup_xxx.sfs.  Copy those to your USB drive manually.  You will probably have to mount the drive first.  ( http://puppylinux.com/flash-puppy.htm )  Follow the  caveats and stuff.  They recommend this method only for an upgrade of an existing USB Puppy system.

  Last night I got an Excalibur EXC4:4 gb usb microdrive .
At $19.99 it was a must buy of sorts. 
One intended assignment is a portable bootable Linux drive.
Anyone want to show off their "Least Steps" methods to install Puppy or other small Linux onto this? 
Both for someone who does NOT have a linux box and /or from Kubuntu 7.04.

Thanks in advance
