May Meeting - New Format

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

How is this any different than building a distro on a disk? A thumb 
drive is just a disk. You create a label with fdisk, partition it, and 
install normally.

OK, don't tell me you are going to use one of those icky syslinux 
recipes. Why would you do that when you just just use grub?

Why use two methods when one will do? One other hint...with a thumb 
drive, don't bother making a swap partition.

P.S. Yes, there are some tricky issues concerning the mapping between 
(hd0) and (hd1) to sda and sdb and which of those is the thumb or hard 
drive, and it even varies depending on whether you do a manual install 
or a kickstart. And probably the distro as well. And then there is 
grub2, which does who knows what.
