I did this myself Mark, using Debian's Live System image; As long as you don't do any updates it will fit fine. The killer is you can't update anything on that size of a pendrive. I'd do as another user suggested and obtain a larger pendrive as they're quite cheap. I went with a 16 Gb myself as there was no way I wanted to do without security updates. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
