So there's really no Forth mode?  And I really wanted to do reverse-polish arithmetic.  :)

I am surprised that in this discussion there was no mention of ziplinux.
That is the in doc section of the syslinux release.
The author implies that it is the only sure fire way to boot from flash media because of
geometry problems on the media, ie, the way out is to emulate a 250MB zip drive which
has disk geometry that can reliably be used on flash media with a small modification
to accound for the true size of the flash drive.

Any way, the short fille called ziplinux.txt explains it much better than I can.

I simply used the aforementioned grub/usb install and it works awesome
Note, anyone interested I have available tc-1.4.3-usb ready to go for both grub/ext2-3 or syslinux/fat16/32 usb
simply plop the 2 download folders(boot & flavors) onto usb, install either grub or syslinux to usb and your set
I have also "flavor" modules pre-loaded with tce's too, just stick'em in flavors folder and go! ;)
this simplifies it all, and menu.lst/syslinux.cfg is already setup for diff usb names(sda1/sdc1/sdf1, etc)
syslinux.cfg even has sub-menu system for saving to hd, usb, or even tcvd(flavors)

and cool screenshots of 2.0 here and 1.4.3 too

Distro of the Year?
TC hands down!:)
I'm getting ready to devote my whole site to tc!

roberts:
I created both usbhdd and usbzip for DSL.
I am in the testing stage of porting both to TC.
Will likely be an extension.

Juanito:
Could we have an option to create an ext2 usbhdd using the extlinux extension?
