I wish we could make it happen... but right now, a USB key is going to
remain the best method until someone figures out how to reverse engineer
it. I forgot to mention that we were the first distro with sleep support
for AlBooks and iBookG4s :D

I want to bring some cool packages to YDL.net like Firefox, and the GPL/Flash
player... its a very time consuming process and until (very soon) I get
some help with packaging, it'll probably be a while.
