[GRLUG] bootstrapping a USB drive

[Godwin]

Yowser!  Over the years, I've been playing with a bootable CD (DOS based
*gulp*) and enabling usb support.  I call it "Soopa CD +usb 2.1".  :-)  I
found some stuff online a while ago on adding stuff to autoexec.bat and
config.sys.  I'll have to dig for it and post it.  Out of like 10 cd's I
burned, one actually found my usb flash drive.  It was like over a year ago
though so I'll really have to sift through my stuff.  I guess you could add
stuff to autoexec.bat to run something from the usb drive once made
accessible.
