2. Able to boot or instigate boot from external usb / firewire hdd. Reason is employer does not like employees screwing with work provided notebooks. This would allow more home usage of linux (even when you are not allowed to), whether it be a live distros or complete installs.
This functionality should be present in test1.  Having testing from

Very much known -- that's why we warn you that it may or may not work
