apoc

i'm in the same boat and would dearly like a reply I can make sense of. I have a 5 GB USB drive & I know all the machines I regularly use can boot from USB drives, but I can't seem to make sense of any of the info I've found for doing this with any linux distro. I basically want to be able to carry linux, open office, GRASS and associated data with me to various places using the USB drive. So if anyone out there can give plain english instructions to a linux wannabe like me I'd be very grateful.

Cheers
