How many Linux distros do people usually put on a Live USB?

Q. Is it possible to put more than one Linux distros on a Live USB? And if you do, how do you choose which one you want to use at start up? Does it look like the dual-boot screen if you had a dual boot on your computer?

A. It depends on the size of the usb and if it can handle more then one os.

Most people just slap one distro on their usb though.

How do I download openSUSE onto a live USB?
Q. How much space does it require to boot? Is there anything that I have to download onto the USB stick to make it ready? And in general, how DO you download something to a live USB? Please give me a step by step guide.

A. This might help you a lot:

How do install mpeg decoders and flash for linux fedora 10?
Q. I am completely new to linux fedora and linux for that matter. I am running fedora from a live usb until i get these issues fixed. I apparently need to install mpeg decoders, xvid decoders, avi decoders and a flash player. Being a complete noob to linux I don't know how to go about this.

A. It looks like the decoders are not patent free and fedora will not include them. Other linux distros do allow a user to install them if they wish at their own risk.
The second link has instructions for flash.
You should search the fedora foum for more info on the codecs.
Good luck
