Bootable USB memstick...

How do I make one? I have a 128 Mb memstick that I'd like to put the 2004.2 universal minimal onto and make it bootable.

The bootable sticks all have a separate "floppy" part that can be booted from an appropriate BIOS.
If you set its size large enough to get the CD boot files on it, and put the CD contents on the normal drive part, you should be able to boot it just like the CD.

EDIT: you will have to edit the syslinux loader to point to the right /boot partition!

But syslinux isn't that hard, really.
