Oh, I have a couple of USB sticks too, but having it in boot means I don't have to look in half a dozen places to find one.

We all have our own ways of doing things. My equivalent to that is to have a

That's what I used to do until I found grub 2 could boot an ISO. Now I only need to copy one file to /boot to update my rescue setup.
