+- The USB images really are minimal install images.  It would be nice to have
+  an alternate official yet minimal live NetBSD distribution provided as both
+  CD/DVD and USB images.  At least with basic commands, /rescue and in-base
+  X11.  This would permit to test the NetBSD support on hardware quickly
+  without needing to perform an install.  The kernel would use GENERIC instead
+  of INSTALL.  There would not need to be any pre-installed pkgsrc packages.
+  For instance, if X11 starts, I could then use glxinfo, xvinfo...  if it does
+  or doesn't, I could check ifconfig -a, dmesg, pcictl, hdaudioctl, etc...
+  I guess that I should however try building such a bootable USB image myself
+  basing myself on the mkliveimage or such script.
