[Live-demo] FOSS4G Boston 2017 Assist (bootable USB)

[Cameron Shorter]

Guido,

As of last release, you can still squeeze OSGeo-Live onto a 4 Gig USB, 
but you will be safer with 8 Gig of more which will allow other data to 
be included. You should include a download of VirtualBox as some people 
won't be able to boot from the USB and will need to run from within a 
virtual machine.

Cheers, Cameron
