thanks for the advices (Aenn, Mark, Chris)

Feather Linux and dsl boot my box and xwindow works fine but I encountered some issues:

fdisk -l gives:
USB stick:
/dev/sda1 ......
/dev/sda2 ......
hdd:
nothing ;-)

I expect:
hdd:

/dev/sda1 .... windows
/dev/sda2 .... windows
/dev/sda3 .... windows
/dev/sda5 .... linux

there is a problem ...

No sound.

The sound isn't a problem for me, but it's important that I can accede to my hdd (to repair something, in case ...).

Debian live gives: missing operating system. I followed the tuto located here: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/USB

To install correctly knoppix I used the excellent tuto located here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/02/20/installing-usb-knoppix-51-using-linux/ I have to install the packages: syslinux, lilo, mbr, dosfstools which contains mkfs.vfat and mkfs.ext2/3

to install, ALMOST, correctly Feather Linux and dsl I used the same tuto with a few changes.

(sorry for my poor english)
