But I found my older laptop could only boot from 4GB and smaller memory sticks.
What I did boot was Ubuntu and it did run Abiword https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AbiWord .
Ubuntu is less than 1GB which leaves you a lot of open space.

Just got this as a gift from my employers. 64mb flash drive! (Yay). Now, what can I do with this?
Currently I'm thinking a few options:
1) Make it a bootable drive for emergency rescue operations. But, which OS / distro? Is there an OS that can fit within 64mb?
2) Install Windows portable apps on it. Thinking of Abiword for sure, what other useful apps you think can fit on it?
