Even better might be a USB 3.0 hard drive: cheaper per GB than USB sticks, and not having the problem of write exhaustion that I've heard about for flash media.

If there is sufficient hard-disk space in the same or other partition, it might be helpful to redirect the work dir.

I might want to make a USB-stick installation of Gentoo to be able to carry from one computer to another.
