During installation, near the end, click the advanced button. Don't
install GRUB on your main drive which it defaults to (hd0,0). Change
this to your USB disk which is probably (hd1,0) if you have no other
drives.

When you boot the the USB disk and get to GRUB, Ubuntu may not launch if
GRUB is still pointing to the secondary disk at hd1,0 (because the USB
is "primary" to GRUB). Edit the line (press 'e' to edit) and change it
from hd1,0 to hd0,0 . Once in Ubuntu you'll want to edit (Alt+F2 then
gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.list ) your GRUB menu to have Ubuntu pointed
to hd0,0.
