Change of plan ;), it might be better to read a little bit. 1. I read that for Linux it's possible to get more than one partition by using FDISK, but Windows has problems with this, a bit denotes the kind of device that is allowed to have more than one partition, so http://www.fs-driver.org/ might be unable to get access to the stick. On the other hand it would be fine to have a FAT32 as first partition, e.g. for BIOS updates, but this isn't really an option I need and maybe the BIOS also takes care of the bit, that differs the kind of media.
2. I found a German page that clears out myths about swaps. For Germans http://binblog.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/swap-im-reality-check/ might be interesting, not only for USB installs. 3. I now will read http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/, this might be interesting for others too. Maybe I do a complete new hard disk install on the USB stick, instead of 3.0-beta2 directly beta3, but even if I won't do this, I will change to ext2 and use truecrypt. How to handle /tmp and logs to safe lifetime for the stick is something I will find out at another time. At the moment I'm more interested in making music (with Windows and maybe 3.0 is fine with my hardware, if so I'll use Linux). Note: If I (and maybe other people) are asking stupid questions about stuff, that can be find in the internet, it sometimes is, because searching without knowing the right catchwords is hard and the main interest might be to make music and not to learn everything about Linux ;). For the USB stick I might have the right catchwords now to google for, thanx :).
