Live USB allows users to see what NetBSD looks like without modifying the 
hard drive.  Get a look-see before altering your hard drive.

I saw where I could download images for live USB OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD, 
but not NetBSD.

Build system in /usr/src for NetBSD 6 and HEAD can build a live USB image,
but this is only the base system.  I did this for HEAD but haven't tested it
yet.  No graphic interface because I prefer to try modular Xorg from pkgsrc.

You can also download NetBSD from

http://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/builds.cgi

and install that to USB stick if desired, but again, this is only the base
system with no added packages.  I've done that several times.
