What do I need to do to set up a Linux bootable memory stick as you describe.

I really like the idea of a memory stick I can just stick into and Windows XP 
machine and be able to fix the stuff that I can't fix in Windows. In the past 
I've done this with a normal Fedora recovery disc, but that relies on the PC 
having a CD or DVD drive.

B.T.W., another shameless plug. It is this Saturday that I'm having my head 
shaved for Cancer Research.  If you have a few bob to spare, please visit the 
link in my sig and donate it Doing it that way we even get a bit back from 
the government
