I did not think that bootable was "special". I hope not. If you can
put an MBR on it, it should work.

The size is really the size of sdC0, which is 1.6 or so GB. I don't
like venti-less plan 9 systems.

Another way to shrink down is to use an image we have on there that is
a true terminal, and mounts root from somewhere on the net. This is
pretty unbearable to use, but maybe cfs makes it all better?

So you can technically get this back to 512MB if you toss the sdC0
image on the flash, but you may not like the result.

Be sure your laptop can boot from USB. That's needed. If we get
desperate I guess we can burn a boot CD. Or, transfer the image to
HDD.

So this is not going to be me up there with powerpoint. It's pretty
hands on. And Aki is going to help, right, Aki?

Also Aki and I are going to show a WIP we think you all will like. Aki
doesn't know that yet. Oh, oops, well, now he does :-)
