If no one can help can anyone recommend a different version to run off a flash drive? Ive tried Ubuntu but its a bit heavy for the job
Depends how your wireless is encrypted.
If you are using WEP, you can connect using the iwconfig command - see this thread.
If you are using WPA there is a discussion here. Using WPA with Linux is not trivial - unless it's improved greatly over the past year or two.
