I'll be happy to just have the config on USB stick.
But I bought one little stick for the config, and one big stick for the
whole thing. I can do both. :-)

I would recommend checking for USB first. Most computers have a floppy
drive, and it will waste too much time to grind the floppy before
looking for the USB device.
Also, you can probably test if a USB stick exists in /proc somehow.

An optional parameter on save-config so we can specify, would be good.
