  I don't mind the switch, but it might be valuable to keep building a
single large bootable image (of whatever size) that can be dded to
miscellaneous bootable media.  I booted from PCMCIA this way on an older
laptop, and it might work from a USB flash drive on more recent systems,
which could easily be more convenient than either floppies or CD.
