Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris Mandriva today launches the 4GB version of Mandriva Flash, its live flash drive. Mandriva Flash 2GB, which was released in December 2006, has been a true success for Mandriva. It was sold out in less than two weeks! Mandriva has listen to user feedback and decided to develop a new version of its best seller flash drive.

Of course it is possible to install it on a flash drive and mandriva allow you to do it freely.

But, the mandriva flash has to be seen more as a service (with a cost) than a product. The system on it is compressed so there is less data to be load when they are needed, it balance the relatively (no so much) small speed of the USB 2.0 ( compared to the sata/ide hard drives ) It also preserves the life of the key as they are limited in read/write cycles
