Hello All, I belive, as well, that this should be possible, however we have to make sure we build an image that have the same "physial" properties as a USB HDD. Not my speciality this however I can sacrifice one of my stick to give it a go using Andreas suggestion with a loopback file system. I've tried this with CF drives with mixed success in the past thus I would like to be possitivle supprised this time :-)
I have, as mentioned, taken the CD ISO as a starting point and thus making it easy for "users" (of the image) to change it into whatever they need. My focus has not been on a small footprint, but rather get the full monty on the stick. Should we focus on as small as possible, or the more "standard" packages the better? I had a hard time finding a stick smaller that 64Mb and since the CD image take about 31Mb we have space "enough" for all the packages that are on the CD.
