Come to think of it, that's a good point - and even relevant to Linux

MacOS (well, the install DVD sort of is, but...). And I sure as heck

think you can get Windows or MacOS to run off a USB stick. On the other
hand, I CAN carry a full copy of Linux (or BSD) on my keyring - for some
applications that's kind of useful.
You can boot OS X from a USB stick!
Really? Can you point me at build directions?
It's so simple, I doubt that there's any howto anywhere.
You just point the OS X installer to the USB disk!
Doooh (sound of hand slapping head)..... that makes sense.
Of course we're talking a pretty big USB disk; probably at the high end
of what you can do with a solid state keychain USB stick. Also, still
tied to Mac hardware. Probably can't, for example, walk into a library
and boot one of the machines from MacOnUSB, the way you can from a small
live version of Linux.
