I've installed Debian to a USB stick plenty of times, and I just did it like a normal install. Put the USB stick in the computer. Boot off of the installation CD. When you get to the partitioning phase, make sure you choose your USB stick and not your hard drive (you can probably tell by the size that the partitioner reports). When you get to the end and it wants to install grub, it probably is going to try to install grub to the hard drive. Choose "no", and then you'll get a chance to specify the device that you want grub installed on. Hopefully you remember it from the partitioning phase... You'll end up with grub installed on your usb stick, but there will be some entries for the operating system(s) that were found on your hard drive. Feel free to ignore them. I think you should give this method a try. I've never had any problems with it. -Rob
