[ug-bosug] Belenix USB installer query

Guys,

I was trying to setup Belenix on a USB drive here for a friend.
The instructions right now seem to imply you need BeleniX
installed on the hard disk to be able to dump it to the USB
drive.  Is that correct?

I tried a couple of quick hacks to see if I can get usbdump.sh to
run off the LiveCD and use the mounted BeleniX image instead of
lofi-mounting the ISO.  It worked.. to a certain extent.  It
fails to create slices on the USB disk.  (The "rmformat -s
/tmp/slices ..." command fails with an exit code of 1 without an
error message.)

Any idea what might be wrong?  Is there a way to set up BeleniX
on a USB drive right now without having to install it onto the
hard disk first?

Venky.
