I'd be interested in this too, but I'd be running from an external hdd so plenty of room. I'm still a newbie to Linux so would be good to try it on any pc

Thanks for any help

Ever since 8.10 was released, I've carried with me a copy of Intrepid on my 1Gb USB key, since it's bundled along with my flat keys. I was wondering about making the install a little more customised - at the moment it's just the standard live CD on a USB, but I'd like to make something that may load a little quicker, and has only the applications I need on - which is just about firefox, pidgin, gedit and maybe VLC at a push.

How would I go about doing this? My current best guess is one of those remastering-type of applications, for respinning a LiveCD. That terminology is probably not the best possible to use, but I hope you get the gist of what I mean. I'm thinking about maybe making it a peristant install, so I can save files too (or a least some settings for pidgin and firefox).

It's mainly so I can borrow peoples laptops/desktops, without having to have them load me onto their desktop. Just boot from USB and have a portable desktop with me where ever I am.
