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.
