I have knoppix installed on a 2G thumb drive..  After the initial 
install I had 699MB left for a /home . Cost like what $4 on amazon.com.. 
even replacing once a year is cost effective for me..  I haven't needed 
to yet.  And at the rate they keep coming down in price I could care 
less if I replaced it twice a year.. I can not longer read the brand of 
my current drive so I can't help you there..
