USB booting :: boot from usb problem

first off is the sony usb 1gb drive even capable of running linux? and second my bios only lets me boot from these removable drives
floppy disk
so i was wondering is it possible to have a floppy disk that forces the computer to boot from a usb flash drive? thx

That is called making a boot floppy. You install DSL on the usb drive, and then make a boot floppy telling the computer where DSL is.

(right click on the desktop, apps, tools, make a boot floppy, make a USB boot floppy)

I have the same problem with my computer BIOS. I can only boot from the floppy drive, the cd drive, or the hard drive.

which downloads to do i need to make the floppy then what do i put on my usb flash drive? thx
