Subject: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on Thumbdrive

Lately I have been doing a lot of traveling and at the moment I don't have a
laptop. Needless to say I run into a lot of crappy computers (aka computers
running Windoze). I typically carry a SLAX cd to remedy the problem but the
downside is I can't save my files unless I additionally carry around a
thumbdrive. I was wondering if anyone has been able to install Gentoo on a
thumbdrive. I assume it could be treated like a regular hard drive, correct?
How about hardware detection? If I use genkernel to make my kernel would it
detect all (or most) of the hardware on a wide variety of computers? Any
thoughts, comments, suggestions, potential pitfalls would be appreciated.
Thanks.
-Mike
