Need a Linux distro to boot off & have filesystem on my USB Pendrive.?
Ok, well I know a lot of Linux distributions that can BOOT of USB pendrives, but they all create RAM disks that get erased/reset once you reboot the system. If I wanted that, I’d just carry a Live-CD around with me. I want a Linux distro that will store everything, the /etc, /home, the WHOLE system ON the pendrive itself so that I can reboot and all my stuff will still be there. Anyone know how I can achieve this? I’ve tried Damn Small Linux but it just creates a ramdisk, and I lose all my work upon reboot.
install another linux distro through a different linux?
can you do that? like you can update and upgrade it, but is it possible to upgrade into a different linux distribution? i have ubuntu, i heard fedora core 6 is better. so can i install it through ubuntu instead of using a live cd? thank you, any help is greatly appreciated

is there any way to find out the user id and password on a linux pc or live cd without actually logging in?
i recently customised a live cd from a linux distro.
i installed it on my pc.
on the distro web-page it lists a password for root.
i thought i had left that as the default because the software wouldnt let me create a second account.
however somehow i must have changed the password. so now the user id and password wont work.
any idea how to find out so i can log back in?
