[ale] anyone installed linux on to a flash drive

[savithari at gmail.com (Narahari 'n' Savitha)]

Friends:

I want to install Linux on to a flash drive.

Has anyone in the ALE family done this ?

When I install Linux on to a Flash drive, does it mean that I can take it
from machine to machine or is it specific to the hardware that I installed
for ?

What about taking the flash drive out and plugging it back to the same
machine, that should be doable right ?  I am trying to use this as an
alternate os at work on the same hardware.

What is the diff between installing the OS on a Flash drive vs running Live
CD (Puppy or Linux Mint that saves data) ?

My Flash drive is 2GB and I am not sure if Arch can be installed there with
XFace.

Is it feasible to do so ?

I would like all kinds of comments to help out.
