Modify a Linux distro so it can run from a jumpdrive

How to modify a Linux distro so it can run from a jumpdrive?

What kind of a computer system do you have? Assuming it is Windows based, take a look at:
http://www.mcnlive.org/

a forum is available at:http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showf...


This is a distribution that has a built in wizard to make a LiveUSB version for you from the LiveCD. It also has a persistent mode so that packages you add and changes you make are preserved from session-to-session. Additionally, it has the ability to remaster it's self while running LIVE, if you have sufficient RAM {768mb up}. This means that you can add specific packages you need and create your custom version without having to install it to the HD first. The remastering is done by using the built in wizard.

MCNLive is based on Mandriva 2007 'Spring' which is based on Red Hat/Fedora. It is pre-configured to a large repository of compatible application packages, and you can add additional repositories from other compatible sources.
