    You can use DSL (damn small linux) and boot that from a USB drive.

    You can also boot slax on a pen drive

    You can even install Ubuntu (Edgy). Check out the instructions on my blog :

    You can also install Ubuntu using a floppy. See Installing Ubuntu on a machine with no CDROM drive at http://efod.se/blog/archive/2006/11/...no-cdrom-drive
