Eben -
I LOVE vector linux. It's small enough to fit if you use the vector 4.0
(not soho version, it's large). VL is based on Slackware, has a small,
light footprint, and supports X.
And SLAX is a live-distro version of Slackware, based on
slackware-current, includes KDE with autoconfig (you have to start it
from the console) and it's goal is to remain less than 185Mb (small
enough to fit on a business-card CD). Slax even has a short howto on
transferring the live-cd to a USBFlashFob.
