For fun, I priced a few other 16 gig flash drives (not on lanyards):

• Corsair Flash Voyager (via Amazon): $39.99
• Kingston USB Drive: $29.99
• A few different brands, mostly at $40 here
• OCZ Diesel Flash Drive (via Newegg): $32.99

This past week, I found myself having to create a bootable USB flash drive with Mac OS X Leopard installed on it. Althoug DasBoot is available to create a bootable Mac OS X Tiger drive, as I detail in this blog entry, being able to have a large capacity Mac OS X Leopard bootable drive is desirable for my purposes.

I had honestly thought that installing Leopard to USB wouldn’t work but found that my 8 gig flash drive was barely adequate. A 16 gig flash drive should do the trick. In fact, I’m wondering if I can partition the USB flash drive in 2 with one partition booting OS X Leopard at 14 gigs and an UbuntuLinux partition at 1.5 gigs. Not sure if that will work. I’m guessing Unetbootin might not work for such fine work, even though it’s worked beautifully.

Even if I can only have Mac OS X Leopard on the 16gig flash, it will be nice.
