Bootable Squeak

There have been lots of bootable squeaks.

Just before 2000, I used to carry around a 2.2 mini image on a 1.44MB
floppy that worked off OSKit (back when machines had floppies!).

Last year, I had a bootable puppy linux key that I put the Seaside One
Click experience on. With a 1GB key, it wasn't even challenging.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for, exactly... I guess the "full squeak experience?"

I'm thinking about ubiquitous computing, wearables, etc.... small machines that may require on-the-spot application modification. What smalltalk was designed for.I'm looking to get rid of some of the overhead of the OS and be able to breath some fun/life back into some less powerful machines. 

Specifically, I have all the parts necessary for a wearable computer (a rather bulky one..) and would like to use squeak on it.

I also like the idea of using a minimal linux to run squeak on.  Linux has a lot
of developers supporting it on many platforms.  Why not build on their work and
not redo that work by writing Squeak drivers for keyboards, mice and other
devices.  Just hide Linux as best you can, use it for the low level stuff and
have Squeak do everything else.
