I've got a computer just sitting here and I've got a spare 128 meg compact flash card. I'm wondering if there is an OS that i could load onto the card and then plug into the usb reader/writer and then boot to it. Any such thing?

thanks
chris

bootdisk.com has some flavors of linux that are designed to fit onto a 100mb zip disk. So, the size is not a problem. To boot from the CF Card, you would need a BIOS that allows booting from the USB port, and the USB reader would need to be a bootable device.
