Mobile phones such as Sony Ericcson 900i have a separate memory stick (up to 2GB) as well as a built in memory of around 500MB which appears a s 2 removable disks to most computers.

With USB enabled mother boards has anybody tried booting a Linux system (particularly SUSE 10.0) from one of these mobile phones.

A Linux image saved on a Mobile phone would be a great recovery tool IMO.

Anybody tried this or can post links to pepole who are playing around with this.

(Beats "Boring Ringtomes" for new things to do with mobile phones).

I've not tried that myself, but I read this interesting article recently which may help to give you some pointers;

Good luck, it sounds interesting.

Check out Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux. Both will boot from USB memory stick. You may need to place your SD card in a USB reader to do what you want.
