I was doing it before the live system options were common, so it was
just boot up an install disk and let the installer run, being sure
to use the right destination device. I don't know why a live usb
would fail to install on a USB stick, as long as it isn't the same
one you've already booted. Also, last I noticed, there were installation
media other than the live ones.
