No, you are not crazy. As of the latest beta, MiniMyth
<http://linpvr.org> can do this. That is, it can boot up into a MythTV
frontend from a USB flash drive on VIA EPIA hardware. In order to
simplify the process, it comes with a shell script (mkusbkey) that will
turn a USB key into a bootable MiniMyth image.
