How does one run puppy linux in such a manner?

I would like to keep a distro of puppy linux on a flash drive and I would like to keep all the downloads, applications, system files, boot sectors, etc. on the same flash drive so that it serves as a hard drive in a way.
Is there any way for me to do that?

Yes, it is a while since I ran puppy but when you first shut it down it should ask you where you want to create a file and if you select your flash drive thats where they will be
EDIT
I think what i did is install all the software I wanted and the did a ‘full install’ to a USB stick. This option is available in puppy somewhere
Puppy is very quick and great for recovering PCs and for browsing
I eventually moved to slitaz because puppy used to hang my router on shutdown and I get fed-up power-cycling the router
Hopefully some-one has done this more recently than me and has better recall – but I know it can be done pretty easily

from what I understand from the linux fan boys, linux is so amazing it pretty much runs itself. so i’m sure it’s already doing that for you automatically. The latest version of Ubuntu can allegedly put an end to global warming and poverty.
