LiveUSB OpenSolaris

Today I learned about the availability of "liveusb" images for OpenSolaris. Liveusb is like a livecd except much quicker. Because 1GB thumb drives are about as expensive as dirt, its inexpensive, reusable, and much faster. There is a script to "burn" (you're not really burning it) the image to a usb drive on OpenSolaris, and a program to do the same on a Windows book. The script for OpenSolaris is available here. For creating on Windows, you can go here. To use the script/program, you will also need a usb image. In locating the image, I also happened upon a great site that has updated distros (in between full releases), as well as extra projects. Go to http://genunix.org for downloadable usb images, automated install images, cd images, inbetween release images, and anything else you want to do. Not all computers are able to boot from a USB drive. See if yours can in your bios, or if you have one available, a boot menu. The boot drive took about an eighth of the time the cd took to load, and is reusable, quick to "burn".
