What I got to thinking was what if Nokia allowed us to create a small partition to use as a bootable flash drive?

This is somewhat off-topic, but since someone mentioned Portableapps, does it mess with the N900's ability to be recognized as a phone/mass storage device?

Its cool to boot from it on someone else's computer and have all your Fav apps load.You also don't need to partition anything all these programs can live in your SD card with all your other stuff.

I get it to boot from the SD card every time now by making sure I enter a folder on the internal storage from the command prompt which prevents the phone from unmounting the internal storage. Only the SD card is made available to the connected PC and it boots from it.
