I appreciate your effort to make life easier for Calvin, but in general
it seems like a bad security practice to post large unsigned disk images
and asking users to try them.  A digital signature from you would
improve matters somewhat, but ideally there should also be a description
of how to reproduce this image.

It's also not good to be promoting Google Drive here, which requires
non-free Javascript.  I'm aware that IceCat includes an extension to
allow Google Drive to at least partially work with LibreJS, but I was
unable to easily get it to work on my IceCat configuration where I use
NoScript instead.

    Thoughts?
       Mark
