Done and done.
May I ask why?

She won't let me use her work laptop, AT ALL.
And its hard to do a lot of stuff w/o access to a PC.

You can then choose to install onto the PC fully.
Or you can do that from the CD.
If you don't have a CD drive on that PC, you can easily do this at the library or sumat

Anyways there should be a tut on any distro's website designed to run off usb sticks, just install the files to the root of your memory stick and use your psp as a mass storage device and in bios like 1/-0 said, make it boot from usb first, then using that you can install linux on the hard drive.

Boot Hiren's Boot Disk from the boot menu and launch norton ghost. Activate USB mode on your PSP, and let ghost read the image and apply it. It works fine with a flash drive, so in theory it should work with a PSP aswell.
