    A very cool tool, 100 mb after exctraction, FTP, FireFox, Shell and other usefull tools .
    ^.^ I found it and I want to share it if you don't already know it .
    don't worry it is a freeware, no instalation needed .
    if you want to simulate it from windows also download this version "dsl-3.0.1-embedded.zip " .

    I doubt it works. the ubuntu cd they sent me is supposed to boot from the cd but linux sucks so bad and doesn't recognized my radeon graphics card so it gets no where.

    so if it can't boot from the cd, i bet its harder to boot from a memory stick.

    So why don't you change your graphic card or install linux drivers, any way booting from usb is so easy all you have to do is to change the setting in your bios " if you already know it, sorry " .
