    Yes, and can you boot from it.

    I have now taken to carrying arround a 2Gb Sony Micro Vault Tiny USB drive with a bootable knoppix install. With an 8Gb drive you could install windows or the Knoppix DVD, and still have space for loads of other stuff.

    I do wish they would scrap the lid design on these. I buy loads of them for clients and I use one myself and every single one loses the lid after a few months of use.

    Blooming silly design really.

    I can wait for the new metal tube like corsair ones to come out as that looks much better.
