a little off topic

would it be possible to put an ( operational ) OS on a 8 gig thumb drive ?

I think this is very easy with Linux- see for instant Knoppix boot disk. The issue is if the machine is set to boot from USB. When you start-up hit F12 (I believe) and set the boot drive to USB.

I suspect you can do this with windows, too, but have not tried.
