Hi Per,
Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not a real solution. The whole 
point of the stick is that an "innocent" user can plug it in, boot and 
"use" the appliance.
I found out I can't use a live-cd because the ftp-server the appliance 
contains needs to be able to download files.
But it seems a valid assumption that removing the file (or making it 
empty) will work. Now finding out when and how to do this.
