Hello, thanaks for your help again, im planing to buy a 512MB pen drive, to install dsl on it and carry it with some of my data (after a mayor hd failure its not to much but thats another strory...) but i wanna know if any of you could recomend me some brands or models that have just worked fine with linux i was thinking in these or is there anotherone better?:
Kingston Data traveler 512

SANDISK CRUZER MINI 512

INTELLIGENT STICK PQI 2.0 ( know its not a pen drive so i was wonderig if linux would work on it and if its a good idea or just a normal usb stick is better?)

Sandisk Cruzer Micro works with DSL.

I think someone here got it to work with the Intellistik PQI.

Thanks for your advice.I finally bought the Mini Cruzer San Disk 512MB and it works fine when its pluged before booting, but after im in dsl it dosn't detect it, but its ok anyway since it takes me little time to boot. I havn't install dsl on the drive yet, ill do it next week.
