I've got a poorman's install of DSL on a Lexar 256M Jumpdrive, works great so far.  I'd like to know if I can set GRUB to boot from the pendrive like you would a normal poorman's.  My hda1 is a Windows 2000 pro installation, if this helps.  It's not so much a need as I'm tired of carrying around a boot floppy and waiting for the slower startup.  My BIOS can't boot from USB.
Thanks in advance.

If you copy the linux24 and minirt24.gz files from the boot floppy somewhere on your hard drive that is accessable by the bootloader, you can use grub or lilo to boot your poorman's USB install.
