Can I use something like the "damn small pc" linux distribution to run linux "inside" windows or from a USB boot drive?

Thanks
DSL-live cd, then again most live cds, should be able to do the trick. The howto has a hard way of doing it, and I think it's windows based but not sure, that should work too. I've also seen other people say it's possible to flash to rd for gainroot, without windows. I say go dl knoppix or some other live cd, and just use that.
