I personally prefer Slax as a portable live distribution (on USB keys and such). While bigger than Feather Linux the full graphical distro fits on a 256MB stick and the console-only version fits well within 128MB.

Download the ISO of your preferred Slax flavor, mount it using loopback and then use the createbootdisk.sh script to install it to your portable drive.
