Ehehe 
Ok, i put up the files and a very short howto on http://92.243.18.151/. Don't have domain yet.
Don't expect everything to work. It's unpolished, but ubuntu, freebsd, memtest and clonezilla should boot. I will extend the howto further and add a description about how to add other isos in the future.

Hehe.. looks like you didn't like my method.

Someone can create a full copy of that usb disk and then you just restore backup(full carbon copy of disk) of usb flash drive and voila.

Yes, you're right. The faster dhcp server will win, i guess. You can add a MAC filter though, so you do no damage. I will look into it.
And dnsmasq is not available for n900 either. I did an apt-cache show dnsmasq and it's there, but i forgot, that i installed it from a debian package.
There should be no risk in installing it. But i will add instructions to the howto on how to use it without installing it for the paranoid.

Then he needs to set static ip for n900. Btw, that package is for arm cpus.(dnsmasq-base_2.45-1+lenny1_arm.deb)N900 is armel.
