you are right, maybe I'm just in a tunnel vision :^) when I made the
first two versions of dyne:bolic, being nomadic and without big
computers, I've first made live usb sticks with -dev packages and
headers and 'cdist' installed with some autoconf scripts, then built
it around opportunistically whenever I found a medialab available :^)

its just another kind of live we are talking about here and I agree
with you the best is to build somewhere else and copy that on
it.

well, this is still a degree of difficulty higher than making a dkms
build on a full install and then copying the .ko over, assuming the
full install has the exact same kernel, compiler and base libraries..

however, brainstorming now, just thinking how to make it easy to get
that damn little missing driver inside the usb stick when it needs to
