I have a 500Mb ATA Flash drive in my machine. If I deselect everything at install time (CentOS 5.0 - just for testing) it still requires 524Mb. Is there any way of doing an even smaller install?
You might consider one of those fine super-lightweight distributions like Slitaz or Tiny Core, both excellent.
OR there's DSL:

What is DSL?
Damn Small Linux is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.
Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:
* Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD) * Boot from a USB pen drive * Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows) * Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install" * Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install * Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram * Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!) * Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize
It runs from a Live CD nicely.
