Last month I blogged about those bootable Knoppix thumb drives<\/a> containing files of preparedness info.<\/p>\n

Greylocke, who’s now making the drives (from unopened, buyer-supplied USB sticks), asked me to post a reminder.<\/p>\n

Seems only a handful of people have so far taken him up on the offer. And it is for a limited time, so if you’re interested, check the instructions<\/a>, then go for it.<\/p>\n

He’s hoping somebody else will step up to take the project over from where it was left when his colleague Scott died. He also writes: “I am hoping to bring some more capability to the project by finding someone to write an app for android phones so they can be used as a packet ham radio station with a ht like the baofeng uv5r. That way you can have somewhat secure digital comma with the least amount of gear just a ht a cell phone and a cable to connect the two. Maybe a fold up twinlead j-pole to increase the range.”<\/p>\n

Um … if you understand what he just said (and don’t ask me!) and you’re interested, please use the link above to get in touch with him.<\/p>\n

Even if all that was as Greek to you as it was to me, the bootable drive with survival files is still a good thing to have. And believe me, it doesn’t require much technical knowhow to use. <\/p>\n
