well, two things come to mind.
damn small linux and puppy linux both have very small footprints. if you get a >=1gb USB stick, it should be big enough to fit the KDE libraries in there.

you can also fit knoppix to a 1gb usb stick (uncompressed, 700mb compressed. i'd shoot for uncompressed)

i mean, i'd probably take the first route. in debian, for instance, uncompressed, i'd guess kdelibs (and all dependancies) are around 50-60 mb...

Any other suggestions?

Only requirement is that it run minimal KDE libs so that kmm runs, and Firefox
to log onto my bank because konqueror doesn't.  I'll probably install kpdf
too, for reading statements.

Bill Gates is to hacking as Sid Vicious was to the Sex Pistols: no talent, everyone hates him, and he's just in it for the fame and money.
