but you only work in user mode, you can’t use root mode. If you know about the password for root, please provide for anyone.
Thank you

Maybe I'm missing something here but can't the same result can be acheived by using VMWare as the virual machine and a lean distro(paired down Gentoo say)?

Perhaps – but probably not for the same price as this. Distributing 128/256/512MB Keychain USB Flash drives with a $99 or less software solution undercuts what it would cost to deploy VMWare and a generate a custom Linux and apps build to multiple field staff or even on multiple kiosks.

flonix sells usb flash drives with a Small Linux derivative, but no emulation – you have to reboot.

Interesting product, alright. It doesn’t quite fit on a 128MB USB key (or at least, didn’t quite fit my JumDrive Sport 128) without a little liposuction of the harddisk drive image, but beyond that it runs fine on two machines so far (XP and W2K Advanced Server). Nice to be able to launch an insulated environment from J Random Pooter without the need to reboot. Wonder how many library computers have accessable USB ports?

Right so…
To give you an example – BartPE can even do this with windows.
This doesn’t bring much new to the table at all… in fact, StarOffice 5 had much of this functionality :P

Note to many....

This is a solution in a single low-cost, easy to distribute packege.

The system is not required to reboot, merely to have access to the USB drive.

This is not a Live CD/etc distribution in the classic sense, as it appears many of you are linking it to be (BartPE, etc)
