grml on USB flash drive or CF through cardbus adaptor.

Hi,
I am wondering if there anyone has experience with this kind of usage, both in terms of performance and possibility to boot(in the case of cardbus)
In the case of USB(most newer machine with 2.0 can boot without any problem), I believe it would be slower to boot comparing with USB HD(throughput difference but would still be much faster than CD) but would it be faster to use once boot as ReadyBoost on Vista relies on the much faster seek time ?
As for the cardbus mode, if it cannot be boot from there, is there any support in grml boot mode where I can boot from a CD(which is slow) yet with the real meat pull from another device say USB drive or cardbus ? This can be quite useful for some older notebook/machine where the boot option is very limited(just CD or IDE).
thanks for any pointer in advance.
regards,
gary PS. please CC if possible as I am not on the list but do read it from the archive.

Not yet. A similar feature wish was requested at the grml booth at linuxdays in vienna yesterdays, I've added this feature requested to our todo list in the BTS: http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue226
