How can i make my Flash drive bootable?

Q. I have a USB 2.0 Flash drive with the Damn Small Linux ISO file on it, how can i make it so that my computer boots from my flash drive and then run linux?

A. To install it on a USB drive they have some very nice directions here:

But, you also have to turn on your computer's BIOS option for booting from USB devices, if your computers BIOS does not have this option you will not be able to boot that computer from a USB drive.

They also sell preinstalled USB drives:

Can the PSP be used as a bootable flash drive?
Q. Im curious if the PSP can be used to boot an OS. Like, for example, booting a Linux ISO the way a regular flash drive could.

A. hmm nice question... worth a try but imo it wont work.

Techies blocked me from connecting to the internet?
Q. Okay, I use a macbook at school to connect to wireless. Yesterday I was downloading a lot of stuff (not illegal, just a linux iso) and they shut the network down for a while. Now, everyone can access but I can't. Is there anyway to get around whatever they did?

A. They booted you because you violated access policies. You'll have to go to the network administrator and ask to be reinstated. They will probably make you sign a use waiver but should give you second shot at access.
