Putting everything on a live version would be doable as well, obviously assuming you have enough storage on the USB to keep your music as well as the OS, SC, and anything else you want.
The thing that would worry me about this setup is the frequent write-access to the USB stick which they're not designed for. You might see the life of your USB stick drop. There's a couple of things you can do to help mitigate this, namely mounting some volatile directories (such as /tmp) to a ramdisk if you've got enough memory, and storing the frequently written data on a filesystem designed for flash devices rather than the standard ext3 filesystem. -- Graham White <graham UNDERSCORE alton AT hotmail DOT com> _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
