Linux on a flash drive.

Well I took Ken's and PC World's info tried to install Puppy Linux on a flash drive. I can't get the BIOS to boot to the flash drive but its still darn good just booting to the CD-ROM.

 

I'll try it out. I'm just screwin' around. Tryin' to get a clean boot to something on the company laptop when I'm traveling, to where I don't think all my movements are being tracked.

 

DDRdan <----- Linux dumb

Are you saying this will run completely from the flash drive? Once booted can I pull & save data from my hard drive, more or less, does it have an Explorer? For the same reason as Quincy said, I have a lot of Company laptop customers that would like this option of of no tracking. Most corporate IT departments are putting software in place that tracks right from the boot now. Will this flash-boot show?

 

Thanks ken, that was very helpful. I'm going to give that a try on one of my bench laptops.

 

Yeah, I don't have a floppy drive. Wait. Aaahaa. They were trying to hide it from me.

I'll get back...

 

That helps. I'll screw around with it. Most help I could find on the DSL message boards were 13 year olds.
