Hi Ben, =20

lnx-pen would be a great place to start, although it will need some tender
loving care to bring it up to speed. =20

Sure.  All that lnx-pen will do is form a singularity file that sits on the=
 pen
drive which will be mounted via cloop.  As long as you have extra space on =
the
pen drive itself, you should be able to mount via usb-storage and save/rest=
ore
files just fine.  That would probably be something that you'd want to do
automatically through the linuxrc init script anyway, right?

I've hacked the runinram option as well as a PXE-boot approach for the lnx-=
bbc
so I know the fundamentals of the linxurc init script, but I've never played
with usb-drive boots before.  Sounds like "a good thing(tm)".
