      So, I've managed to get RetroPie running solely from USB (no microSD) on my Raspberry Pi 3b and was curious if anyone saw any value in getting an image of it for anyone else who has already enabled their Pi 3 to boot from USB -- that way you could flash it to a USB drive and go about your business?

      I'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes to setting things up. Right now, I have it installed on a small-footprint Samsung 128GB drive. If I were to back it up, presently, the backup would be gigantic. If there is interest in this, I'd appreciate a few details on how to "reset" everything back to clean for the OS, such that my WiFi stuff isn't saved (I imagine I can just clear out the wpa-supplicant details manually), and that the "initial" script executes to automatically inflate the secondary partition (EXT4) after booting.
