[indiana-discuss] LiveUSB creation tool

[Moinak Ghosh]

The Distro Constructor has a flag to generate USB images. However in
BeleniX it is
easier. Boot the LiveCD insert a pendrive and run usbdump. This was
there originally
in the LiveKit but got dropped later. I think this should be
re-instroduced into Indiana.

Regards,
Moinak.
