USB stick image

Description
Hi,
I wrote a script that converts an .iso image to an .img that can
be written to an USB stick. I'd love to see an USB stick version
of DragonFly released next to the CDROM .iso for two reasons:
- I don't want to waste any further CDs
- Netbooks don't have CD readersWhat do you think?
Regards,

Will it boot? I remember that booting from usb sticks used to be a big
pain in the ass.
cheers

It boots on my system and I think it will on every not too old system.
It's treated like a regular hard disk.

Hmm, you could try to integrate this into nrelease/Makefile, so that
specifying 'image', as in e.g. 'make installer release image' would
create an additional dfly.img besides the dfly.iso.
