I did not go through all 155 posts but in the 10 messeage that were listed on the page there is a link to a sourceforge upload of i386_4.6 install binary for usb drives.
This is not the venue to continue the argument but I wonder if the project is missing a revenue opportunity by not supplying a preloaded thumb drive. Also wonder if zealously protecting CD sales comes at the expense of expanding the user base.
In my country there is an increasing sense of internet paranoia that could drive sales of OBSD but the task would be to make it more assessible.
I have even thought about trying adding install sets with xfce, web browser, email client (seamonkey cover both). One would need security update tools (What FreeBSD has works slick) and a package manager.
