Re the medium to use.
The use of USB sticks is really not something to be seriously considered. Not everyone has the ability to use this medium. I did see that, but I couldn't imagine who it is that cannot boot from a USB stick? I actually have some elderly systems that can't, but those are the exception and they're quite close to ending up on ebay.
I mean, even my Philips picture frame has a USB socket, if it would run Linux I'm sure it could boot from USB too :-)
Yes, I should have been a bit more expansive in what I stated. I have 2 computers which are capable of using USB devices - but none are able to boot from USB devices because the BIOS does not have this feature.
