Booting from the USB Mass storage off the phone.

Well, good news indeed. We can convert to bitcoin once some amount has been
collected though :)

I didn't have time the last days for this, but isn't the boot media
supposed to be irrelevant with TAILS? I mean no matter what the boot method
is, it still loads a ramdisk from the supposed media.
If we are talking about persistent storage, that's another story. But i'm
looking forward more to a "livecd" amnesiac experience.
What is the odd-ball in this quest is actually implementing the PXE server
on a non-rooted device, thus making it more installable.
