So i'll have a go at installing the pup on a usb stick, and see if i can get it to boot for any machine. (I'll find a win machine to try it out on.)

Interesting that puppy linux worked out of the box so to speak, with sound and network, even within a qemu machine.

I use puppeee on the asus eee,- which is essentially a glorified USB stick- it works really well, although takes a long time to bootup,- but I think that's probably more to do with the eee than the os.

It also has a nice mounting tool (titter)

Kind regards
