Permalink: Mandriva provides Linux USB stick

Mandriva’s Flash 4GB provides Mandriva Linux 2007 KDE 32bit without the need for installation. The system is ready to boot off a USB 2.0 stick. There is no need to copy any files to the host’s hard drive and no traces are left on the host PC.

Flash 4G includes all the required firmware, plus drivers for common PC video cards, wireless adaptors and modems. It also offers some open-source desktop environments, applications and plug-ins including Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.10 internet browser and OpenOffice.org 2.0.4.

System configuration, preferences and data are all saved to the key for use in a subsequent session.

Flash 4G is an update on the previous Flash 2G, having twice the capacity, and provides a single 4GB FAT partition.

The key software can be upgraded to Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring, the upcoming new version of the OS.

Flash 4G costs around £60 and can be ordered online.
