Well, the biggest USB stick I have at the moment is 1gb, but this thread provided an excuse to order me an 8gb. I'm ready now. :) But keep in mind the FAT 4gb-1b limit. I'd happily format it NTFS if we could boot LiveUSB from NTFS. syslinux doesn't support this, but patches for GRUB apparently exist: http://www.geocities.com/lode_leroy/grubinstall/ And syslinux upstream is at least open to NTFS support: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2007-April/008303.html But I can't find any sign of progress on it. We're going to need this eventually. As flash drives get bigger, FAT becomes more and more undesirable.
