Even better might be a USB 3.0 hard drive: cheaper per GB than USB sticks, and 
not having the problem of write exhaustion that I've heard about for flash 
media.

If there is sufficient hard-disk space in the same or other partition, it might 
be helpful to redirect the work dir.

I might want to make a USB-stick installation of Gentoo to be able to carry 
from one computer to another.
