I agree with your view. FreeSBIE is more CDROM oriented, still it can be
used to build an image suitable for a flash card or an usb pen (check
the "img" and "flash" maketargets of FreeSBIE)  but my task for
the summer is to make FreeSBIE even more flexible and make it easier to
build images for Flash/USB.
