I have it installed on a 1T SSD that I have in a USB enclosure. It's got about a half dozen distro ISOs on it now.

Thank you Ace! Yes I have been meaning to go get that and play with it! So far I have been able to just install directly onto a stick from the live/install sticks for handy small full OS drives with persistent storage.
And I have been able to install “Along side” over other OS install volumes and stack them. I have five stacked on this 2 Tb external “Back up” USB drive now. And surprisingly they run almost as fast as they would if installed internally.
The one thing I do though before installing to a stick or external drive is delete all the default crap on the drive. The default security stuff can prevent it from accepting a full OS install.
But it is cool to have something isolated and independent you can just plug in on a small drive so that if something goofs it you can just reinstall from scratch over it with no trouble. :)
