Greetings,

There is a promotion of 2 GB USB key for 35 Euros.

I was wondering if I could install one of SuSe distribution and carry
with me for demo purposes?

All comments welcome.

In principal it would work. In practice you have a couple potential
problems:

a) the machine must support booting from USB drives.

b) The device names may change depending on the PC, which means
that /etc/fstab may be incorrect on some machines.

c) Likewise, network cards, X11, etc., might have to be re-setup on each
new machine.

d) It'll be dog slow compared to a normal installation.
