Bug Description

as usb drives are available at reasonable prices now, they can easy hold a standard linux, not only a squashed one. it would be great if a running ubuntu would allow to easy install linux on an usb drive. currently this is a little tedious via e.g. debootstrap: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Without_CD
