Linux on pen drive

I have Damn Small Linux on live cd and would like to install it on my 256 Kingston data traveler. Question is how would I format the pen drive,ie:FAT,FAT32,NTFS,DOS etc. or does it make a difference?
Thanks

Can you install it on a Pen Drive? DSL should give an option to format during the installation, so I would imagine it would be of no real consequence no matter the filesystem you format in from Windows. Ext2, Ext3, and ReiserFS are the more widely used.
