That;s not exactly clear... you mean to say why can't openSUSE install
directly from USB image?
my goal should be to have a "live" openSUSE on usb key, that is a
version that boot and run or can be installed like some live cd do.
In fact I can't make the system proposed in the wiki page work.
all tried with the 10.3 opensuse, mini cd, kde live or kde install cd
* On a small iomega Mb key, I could install the boot system and boot
from the key. But then I couldn't make it find the iso image
* on an Gb key, I had many problems to make the key bootable. This may
be caused by my (acer laptop) computer.
- most of the time, it don't find syslinux at all and gives "hdd
without OS" or "FDD without OS" - however it finds the key, it gives
it's brand name.
- once I had syslinux boot, but don't find the kernel (of course all
was fine on the key, AFAIK)
I tried to install openSUSE as said in an other page and could do, but
the result didn't boot (I could start openSUSE from a grub console)
remarks: trying to boot the mini iso is only for test, because the
mksusebootdisk utility copies all what is already on the mini iso, so
the second step is unusefull
I could find no way to open a cd image from the yast menus. However,
opening console #9 I could navigate the system, find the cd image,
even mount it as loop and read it, but no way to make YaST continue
using it.

NB: Mandriva sell a mandriva on key, so it's possible, at least with
some hardware
