A. I'm not sure what OS your installing, but usualling during install you can just say use entire disk. or try this.

1. Download Parted Magic:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/files/partedmagic/Parted%20Magic%205.7/
or the latest version here

2. Extract the iso from the .zip (if applicable, sometimes they didnt zip the iso)
3. Burn the iso to a dvd or cd (free CD/DVD suite link)

Q. I am looking for the best linux os distro that could boot straight from my flash drive.

Something like knoppix but for flash.

Another question, with that, can you access the hard drive and store information? Like to fix a windows machine?

To intall to USB drive:
First, boot up your computer from the DSL livecd, frugal, or USB-frugal. Note that it is not possible to do a USB install, or any other kind of install from a DSL Embedded system.

In the Fluxbox menu, go Apps >> Tools >> Install to USB Pendrive and choose either USB-ZIP emulation or USB-HDD emulation, depending on what is supported by your computer's bios.

how do i install heroes of newerth for linux mint?
Q. I am a complete noob on linux and I need some help. After I download HON for linux and I try to open it, it says I need to open with an appilcation, I have no idea how to do that, please help.

A. Was the file you downloaded a compressed file? More than likely it was and you don't have a program to decompress the file. To expand compressed file (decompresses) you can use and gzip -d, bunzip2 (bzip2 -d), unzip commands. See the link below for more info. that should help you out.
