[Opensim-dev] How much does Mono -> libgdi etc need to drag in? (Mac)

[Paul Fishwick]

The following may not be what you are looking for, but you can
easily install linux on a usb-stick and then just put opensim on
the same stick. Ubuntu should install in under 1GB, so given that
cheap 16GB and 32GB usb-sticks can be purchased, and unless
the goal is optimization for its own sake, this would appear to
be at least one practical solution:

Sure..you'll have lots of stuff you don't need in addition to linux
and opensim, but at 1GB, who cares?
