I’m trying all kinds of distros, and the cd’s are stacking up. I notice most can fit on my usb drive, is there a way after I download the distro I can put it on my usb stick and boot to it, then install if I like the distro?

Linux on USB or CD to bypass balky hard drive?
I’ve asked this before, but wasn’t able to locate exact downloadable sites. My Vaio laptop has a balky drive, and I’d like to create what I believe is called a Live CD (or better yet, Live thumbdrive, if that’s what it’s called) to be able to use it again.
If you respond, would you kindly let me know exactly where to find the downloadable file? e.g. I rooted around in DSL without knowing exactly where to go. I also downloaded ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386 which i understand contains a Live CD, but I don’t know how to access it. (My inexperience is showing, I’m sure).
Thanks for any help, barry
