Using the CD iso preceding RC1, I optimistically tried to install to a 2GB USB pendrive. It spent the better part of 3 hours copy files over from the CD to the pendrive. It was my second attempt, where the first had tried (and failed) to install GRUB to (hd0). This time I asked it to install (sd0) but it didn't manage that, falling off a long way into the installation. Serves me right I suppose for trying to run Edgy as my main system, without reformatting my whole hard drive. (I *think* I've been using ntfs for the past few years, but the first few dozen KB are inaccessible.)
