Scuttlebutt ist Booting into IDEA on Linux from USBStick - unfortunately my PC doesn't support USB booting - although I am not sure if ZIP-booting will enable USBstick booting aswell... Build a Gentoo install/boot/rescue LiveCD USB is cool - I just wait for a WindowsPE to be bootable via USBstick (hmmm - USBstick is writable, so Windows2000/XP should be fine aswell - PE is only required for readonly-devices...)
