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. Tom
