Hi all,
I'm looking for a linux distro that will boot from a USB flash drive. I want to be able to boot from this on a PC and access the hard drives already installed, whether they be using Linux or Windows (NTFS access would be a massive bonus here).

This will be used on a couple of different machines, but any passwords used on the machines will already be know - it isn't going to be used to cause any damage, but used by people with permission to access that machine already. Because of this it must be ablt to automatically detect hardware as it boots, and load the required drivers. It's going to be used to repair broken machines without having to mess about removing drives etc :-)

Anyone know of a suitible distro?
