Install and Boot OS X On a Flash Drive

USB PodBrad Bergeron has put together an amazingly detailed tutorial covering how to make Mac OS X install and boot from a USB flash drive.

Remember when it was first revealed the Windows XP could be installed and booted off of a USB flash drive? Well, great for Windows users. What about Mac users? We were left out in the cold. If one were to search hard enough in the vast Web index that is Google, one could find just the snippets of how to boot a system from a USB drive, how to set a drive as bootable, yadda yadda yadda.

This is the first and most comprehensive tutorial on making Mac OS X ultra portable. It’s not rocket science but this tutorial really makes it straight forward. Combining a flash drive based OS X with a handful of portable apps gives you access to your Mac anywhere you go. I can see this being really useful for students who jump from computer lab to computer lab.

I can’t help but wonder if this tutorial can be adapted to work with an iPod.
