I'm imagining that someone has figured out a good way to do this and would appreciate someone pointing me to any existing discussion of this. Flashdrives now available with more than 1 TB so a very complete working environment should be possible. I'm interested in doing this on both older laptops and recent laptops, which I know impacts drive labeling and bootstrap installation issues. Thanks, _Greg
