booting from usb?

[Lee Causier]

I would say that you would need to use a linux kernel with usb support 
in to either (depending on what you're aiming at) load another kernel 
and initrd from a USB device, the bootstrap that (more flexible) or just 
boot, mounting the appropriate USB device as / - safer I would guess 
(not sure) as you can always put in a CD with a working software set,

Bear in mind I may be wrong on this, I'm no expert, so as always, YMMV.
