Excellent work. I think a feat like that should be explained in the DragonFly wiki. I know I would like to try it :o) I'm curious about things like: did you use the DFly Installer, or just copy an existing installation to a mounted USB stick? Did you need to change any BIOS settings for changing boot devices or listing alternative boot devices? Did you re-format or make a new filesystem on the USB stick before installing? (If yes, how did you do it?) How did you partition that tiny little 512MB, and did you make a swap partition? Did you put a generic kernel on the USB stick, or a custom kernel? These are the little things that can use up hours of trial-and-error even for people who have experience installing to normal hard disks, and I would be grateful if you would create a wiki entry explaining how you did it. Thanks!
