Thought i would throw this out there to the those that have far more experience than i in this matter. I have a need to create a bootable USB pendrive, easy enough, thanks to the LiveUSB-Creator tool provided on the fedoraproject site. But what i need is a desktop linux (KDE preferred) with some additional RPMs and Applications on it (Scientific based apps like PyMol) on a pendrive. I have created the pendrive with quite a bit of space for persistent storage, but wanted some opinions on the best way to move forward.
Thanks in advance for any direction Michael Weiner

Hi
I keep a fullish install of F10 on a USB stick (8GB) In fact I keep an i386 and an X86-64 stick. I used XFCE but KDE fits in 8GB fine Is it slower than Hard disk - yes - is it usable - very
I work from the standard F10 distribution and install over NFS but a full DVD install is fine. On boot install - enter expert askmethod and later select the USB stick to install to.
Will it boot after install - yes if the BIOS support USB disk. Even if it won't boot directly there are usually ways round that.
