CD Bootable OS

I would wholeheartedly recommend knoppix - I often use this as a rescue/repair distro, and provide it to non-linux fellows to give the OS a try....
Also; if you're going to attempt to install Linux to a 650Mb partition, it is not going to work, unless you opt for a really basic text-mode system. Any remaning space will soon fill with log files/temp files etc (/var, /tmp) - plus you're leaving no room for anything under /home. I'd personally recommend a *minimum* of 4Gb for a modern Linux distro - and this would be extremely stripped down.
If it's 650Gb on the other hand
Cheers
