Hey,
A few days ago at the conf, we used a USB key to boot and flash the
entire system replacing the OS on the ideapad.
I have a need to test alternative images but I would like to maintain
the changes I have made in my current system.
Is it possible to prepare a flash drive capable of a complete image
backup onto a new memory stick?
ie, boot from a USB stick and fill the stick with the contents of my
hard drive.
It would allow us to store the system state right up until that point
and whilst may have issues space wise would be a practical simple way to
allow testing.

At least on ubuntu 10.10 you can use any bootable image to create a USB
stick and assign a certain amount of the remaining free space to be used
for storing settings/documents.
The tool is "Startup disk creator".
cheers, igor
