Bootable OpenBSD USB sticks are simple to make. Just use a computer with a CD drive to install OpenBSD onto a USB stick. Then you can plug the USB stick into most any computer and boot bsd.rd to do an install. You can even copy various versions of bsd.rd onto the USB stick, current, etc.
- bch 12y ago> Bootable OpenBSD USB sticks are simple to make. So are bootable CDs and coffee, but people still buy them. This is a fundraiser for OpenBSD -- a bootable, branded USB stick would get the purchaser their copy of OpenBSD, be future advertising ("Oh hey! That's a nice Puffy USB Key you have!"), provide utility (as a general purpose USB device) after their laptop has OpenBSD installed/updated, and be a nice little collectable artifact too.
