so i know way less about linux than i should to be trying this.
suppose i follow these instructions.
anyone know the likelyhood that they'll work? what about fucking up my flash drive? if something goes wrong, can i format it and recover its file transfering abilities?
what kind of problems might i run into along the way?
halp!

wait, so i should unplug my IDE hard drive before booting? Or only when i'm setting all this up the first time?

There should be some distros out there that pretty much hold your hand during installation. I think puppylinux is another small one.
Go to http://www.distrowatch.com for basically any distro out there.

Only while setting it up the first time. After that you should be fine.
I posted this in the linux thread in the Technology Tavern, which may be better suited for you for a follow through. I didn't read your link so I don't know if it gave you the instructions on removing all HDDs before proceeding with the install.
