not really ... what i'd prefer is that i nail down a strategy for
doing this and have all the bootable centos USB drives ready to go for
the first day of class so there's no wasted time. i have a windows
laptop, so i can test LiLI and if it generates usable images, i can
just duplicate as many of those as i need.
my preference, though, is to use a linux-based tool if one is
adequate.
