    Need USB flash drive that's bootable

    OK - I've searched EBay, Pricewatch and Google, but come up kind of lacking.

    I'm looking for a recomendation for a USB Flash drive that's bootable.

    I'm wondering if I can make it Linux and/or DOS and/or ?!?!?

    Thanks in advance,

    Kenny P.

    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
