I may be jumping in late on this one.

What I've done in the past was disconnect the HD, boot off a DVD with
the target USB stick inserted so it's the only "drive" on the machine,
and install to it just like to a HD.

Plenty of extra space if the install took 2G on a 16G stick.

One could do the same thing, I expect, from a stick that's had the ISO
dd'd to it as an install medium, to a blank USB stick or drive.

The Linux "everything is a block device" attitude works well in this regard.
