Booting from USB devices is particularly interesting when it comes to these small flash disks etc. If only the BIOSes could support them (don't know if there are some that do this yet). Given that CD-Roms need to be burned, and floppies are obsolete, I was hoping we could boot from small devices like this.. Also, don't forget that booting from USB CD-Rom/CD-RW/HDs may be something people want to do at some time.. Cheers, -- Anders.
