I would like to make a bootable 'live' USB stick with Axepad included.
As small as possible. (but preferably with persistence)
Can anyone steer me in the right direction ? (the best distro) ?
I'm not fluent with Linux, so need a sure, simple approach.
Thank You
A Google Search turned up software for creating a live USB stick with 'persistence' for selected undisclosed distros. Persistence allows you to install software and save data onto the USB stick whilst using Linux so you want this. Try Fedora or Lubuntu.
I have used that program which nick12ab recommended many times and it has worked well. There was some limitations which can't make working as persistence and I don't remember much about those. Anyways those limitations can be seen when you read some info from their website.

What can I do and not do on a persistent system?
You have to keep in mind that a persistent system is a Live system on which there is an overlay that is writable.
This means that core files are in read-only mode while other files are in read/write mode.
What you cannot do on a persistent system:
updates core files (kernel, etc...) = no full system updates
install drivers
What you can do on this kind of system :
install some software
do some software updates
create some files/folders
install Linux (from you USB key) on your PC's hard drive
