I'm looking to run Linux off of a USB drive (512MB). I would like to have:
-A 2.6.x kernel -Hardware detection so I can use it on any machine -The ability to uninstall whatever came with the distro -GCC readily available -Some space left over so I can actually use it as a USB drive Any suggestions? |

How do you enable compression on an ext2 filesystem? I've been looking, but I can't find an answer (I get the impression I'm searchingly challenged, though).
I'm looking to have room for a few more apps. |

I'm looking to have room for a few more apps. You'll probably have to do a squashfs for some directory. Which means you'll have to screw around with your path and init a little, I suspect. This is actually a good reason to use knoppix from usb-it is already compressed and set up to function. Moving it to USB is easy, as per the instructions at pendrivelinux, ansd sufficiently large usb keys are pretty cheap. I think I saw 2Gig usb keys for about 30-40 usd the other day. |
