There are several linux distros which are small and many can run on solid state/flash drives. These are generally the most popular

DSL(damn small linux)
Puppy Linux
Knoppix
Agree on DSL, it's under 50Mb and works a treat!

Everytime I try to install DSL, it does a whole bunch of things and then tells me I am out of disk space.Also I am new to Linux, but when I install, I can't install to "hda,hdb" instead I have to install to "sdc" or something in that nature. Can someone explain, or give me detailed step by step instructions on how to go about this. Thanks
I've never installed on flash drive before, but here is a wiki page concerning the subject:
