First of all, google can help a lot about this. Second, there's nothing 
special you should do except maybe being more careful about the 
filesystem options (eg journaling can wear out your drive faster - see a 
previous thread on this list regrading installing on a external drive). 
If it just hangs, it means that the I/O is slow enough to make your 
pendrive hardly usable for this purpose.
