[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend on Damn Small Linux (DSL)

Hi all.

I'd really like to have a bootable USB key containing a lightweight
linux distro like Damn Small Linux (DSL) and mythfrontend 0.19.  This
would let me boot a laptop and use it as a frontend without messing
with the laptop's OS.  I briefly tried booting ubuntu from CD on one
old laptop, and the boot time was horrific... so I'm trying to find a
distro to fit on my 512MB USB key.

Has anyone built mythfrontend for DSL, or found a way to pare down
another distro like KnoppMyth so it would run off a 512MB usb key?

Thanks,
Jeremy
