I found it when I was searching Google for "run linux on flash drive" and ended up getting results for DSL, my first distro. I downloaded 1.0.1 at the time and did a poorman's install on my Compaq Presario 1200 XL118 laptop. After that, I upgraded to 1.1. During that time, I was off DSL and experimented with some Red Hat 9 CDs my college professor gave me. Unfortunately, my dad said that I should reinstall Windows 98 on the Compaq, and the poorman's install of DSL ran like crap because I had an old boot floppy. Then I tried the embedded version of 1.1 on my five-year-old desktop, and it required the USB boot floppy. I had a blast with NetHack until 1.2 came along, which can only run the game as root. I used the embedded version until I decided to run 1.2.1 off a CD. Right now, I run DSL from a CD and my extensions from a flash drive using the mydsl=sda1 cheatcode.
