It depends on the BIOS. My Toshiba laptop does not boot from USB at all. But another Dell laptop does boot into the USB-HDD. Just press F12, with Dell and you can select which media to boot from. I don't use the installer. But, I have built Sarge-based Linux systems to be booted from a USB flash drive using grub. Grub has worked very well! From Grub's view, when the BIOS is set to boot from USB-HDD, the USB flash drive is hd0. Once Linux has come up, it is the SCSI (/dev/sda) drive.
