[ale] Installing Arch Linux on USB drive

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

I finally did this by burning an iso image on to a cd and then install from
that to a USB drive.  It worked well.

Erik:  I had used UUID but for some reason the USB-LIVE-STICK(2GB) as
install source is not well accepted by the target USB drive (15GB).
Install goes well but thats about it.
