,----[ Quote ]
| The following tutorial will show you how to easily install PCLinuxOS MiniMe
| 2008 to a USB flash drive using Windows. This enables a user to quickly
| create a portable version of PCLinuxOS MiniMe 2008 without having to go
| through the redundant steps of burning the iso to a CD and then booting from
| the CD to perform the USB flash drive install from another iso. We really
| like the latest release of MiniMe from PCLinuxOS and think you will enjoy it
| as well.
