There are several that run off flash memory. If you want to run the linux off the flash memory while you are in Windows you would probably need some kind of virtual machine software like QEMU. Metropipe has packed this type of thing all up already configured for DSL. You could install this and look at the batch files to see what commands are passed to QEMU since QEMU has no gui to launch it.

Generally people that run it on flash memory boot off the flash memory stick and run it natively.
