[ale] does anyone know of a linux distro small enough to fit on a 64 meg usb Compact Flash?

I had downloaded DamnSmallLinux (DSL) 0.7.3 but it errors out when I 
attempt to boot it up from a USB CD-RW drive to install it on the 
Compact Flash Drive. I booted the system up with the Cebits 
LinuxDefender version of Knoppix and was able to fdisk the drive so I am 
thinking that the problem is with how the guys at DSL have modified 
their version of Knoppix.

I'm playing around with a Mini-ITX Via C3 800 MHz thin client device and 
I want to replace the contents of the Compact Flashdisk that it boots 
off of with Linux. Hopefully this will give me the ability to tweak and 
configure it to suit my needs. The Previous version of Windows CE that 
was on it, wasn't to my liking.

I get the digest version of the list so please respond to me and to the 
list if possible.

thanks!!!!

have a great day everyone.
