Wouldn't it be nice to be able just plug USB stick with DSL on it into the port and start using DSL without rebooting a machine? I mean virtually?

Sort of like MetroPipe had done:

http://www.metropipe.net/ProductsPVPM.shtml

I did this...however...I dont know if I am violating the GPL by using thier version of a GPL program called qemu...

PM for details but dont expect a miracle...I was told to remove my links and stuff to what I have done so far by the higher ups and dont want to upset the big boss men by doing something illegal "in thier names!!!!"

I use DSL under VMWare and it workd just fine and seems as fast as on my machines that have it as the host OS.
I dont have it on a USB pen though just as a HD install or an ISO.
