I can boot from a LiveCD just fine.
Install to pen-stick with USB HDD. Try to boot and get a "can't find kernel: linux" type of message. Won't boot.

I do the USB ZIP install, and that works (but I don't wanna waste a 2GB mem stick and not be able to use it for windows storage also.

SO... is the USB HDD install supposed to just work right out of the box, or is there some config on the USB install I need to tweak?

And is this to assume that if HDD doesn't work, but ZIP does, right out of the box, that my BIOS doesn't support the usb HDD boot method?

Nevermind, I figured it out. Just doing the install to USB HDD doesn't work, I followed these steps exactly and it worked perfectly:
