I wish you good success in this !
Live usb technology is growing to become the best for live media .. pen sticks getting cheaper .. +rw , superfast performance on new usb hardware , noiseless , practical to carry everywhere , physically less fragile as to dust/humidity/sun .. :-) ..

a question :
some would argue that on usbs , the best filesystem to use is non-journaled .. fat32 or ext2 .. as less writing is imposed on the usb fragile sectors ..

to what extent is this true ?
I once used to use slax on fat32 formatted usb .. it ran well .. but I bet it's not a secure way since fat32 is accessible by all worlds OSes ..
how far can the came be done with the BSDs ? (aside from the security issue)
