I have the Lucid iso residing on a 4GB USB flash. Only slight hassle is that you will not get sound to work. If this is no hassle then its fine. One last comment: if installing the CD Live on a USB stick then you would need to consider the speed of the USB stick - you would probably want to use one of the fastest around (Corsair) for which you would be paying ~$31 + freight from Sydney.
