@ boof:-
Mm. Okay. No CD, no USB.....the only way you'll be able to do this is to create a separate, small partition, and use EasyDD.
This is an easy-to-use, GUI 'front end' for the 'dd' utility. Commonly known as the 'disk destroyer', if you get the commands wrong..! That's why BK wrote this, to make its use easier for those unused to its quirks.
You can't use this with a sub-directory, the way you can with Puppy; 'dd' will only work with a partition, or separate drive. Make the partition around 10 GB if you can; it needs a minimum of 8 GB to work correctly. (Tip; the 'self-extracting script' works best. This is totally 'portable', and can be run from anywhere.)
Though, as enrique says, it'll only run on an ARM-powered device.....like a RaspberryPi.
