I have installed AstLinux on quite a few HP thin clients, from the 5520,5530, 5700,5710 and 5720, but have not yet made an AstLinux USB boot device, so I can't be of much help. I boot the machine from a USB with DSL ( Damn Small Linux ) that also has the img file stored on it, and use dd to install on the internal flash module. Transcend makes 512, 1G and larger flash that fit in place of the originals. ( though I am uncertain if these machines will go beyond 2 Gig ) After booting and using dd to write the img file to the flash, reboot and change the bios to boot from the internal, then finish off with the very nice web interface. almost simple enough a cave man could do it!! the 5700 series will even handle a single T1 card nicely, assuming one can find the expansion parts!
