What's your time worth? Thumb drives/USB Mass Storage devices
are now available in 256MB and 512 MB for not much money. Ought
to be a _lot_ less hassle to get a small distro (and some apps)
in 512 MB.
One tip that is _not_ being advertised much: You will be looking
for a USB 2.0 device but make SURE that it says it is a "high-
speed device" and not a "full-speed device." The latter is just
a tad faster than USB 1.1 and not worth the money.
