Just thought I'd weigh in on the memstick image available for 8.0-RC1 it's very nice... now we can do away with CDs and DVDs on newer hardware. My only gripe is that it's a little too big for my 1GB USB memstick at the moment. I know, I know... I could always get an 8GB one fairly cheap these days... but most of the time all I need is something that gets me booting into a kernel and access to the base system so I can at least have a functional system before requiring network access. I don't need all the packages on the USB image. If I want them, the net takes over and gets me them. If somebody thinks it's a reasonable request, a minimal memstick image would be appreciated. Something similar to the "bootonly" CD images.
