Wouldn't it be more efficient and easier to just have various images on
hand and burn to disc or copy to flash drives as needed? It would be
almost trivial for someone to have live CD/DVD/flash drive images
available on one of his/her hard drives at an installfest. I have a few
hundred GB free on my laptop drives and another couple hundred GB free
on a portable external drive I carry myself, so space is not an issue. I
think Brian had tons of blank CD-Rs and a few flash drives, so media
shouldn't be an issue either. There weren't any blank DVDs around at the
last installfest, but I have plenty that I could bring in case someone
wants a disc with a heftier version of a distro (or has a dodgy optical
drive like me that doesn't like to boot from CDs :P ).
