 Re Ticket 74:

 The idea of being to self replicate from a SD or USB stick to a second one
 is great. (Basically a replicator)

 (A great way to make multiple copies of a custom configuration of a  Soas
 entity.)

 Could it also generate a .iso file on request so it could be sent over the
 internet for distribution?
