Summary: U3 Support (coLinux on a USB stick) ?

Initial Comment:
Is there any chance for coLinux to run as a self-contained service from a USB memory stick?

There's a corresponding standard called U3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U3

Message:
I was thinking about this, and I am not sure if this conclusion is
necessarily right - there are several other programs that have to load
kernel drivers but still run fine from a U3/USB stick, most notably the
various sysinternals (now Microsoft) tools (e.g. procmon, tcpview etc), but
also wireshark itself which has U3 support.

Is this a misunderstanding on my part?

Message:
This is not doable. coLinux needs to install a hardware driver (linux.sys),
and this is not allowed by U3.
