Just vague theorizing here, but it occurs to me that one could install this
on an old thumb drive (by old I mean the 8GB variety), and then alter the
boot sequence to look first at the USB port to see if the drive is there,
and if so boot from it. Yeah, I have an old 16GB thumb that I seldom use,
now that I have a 64GB thumb; so I could give it a whirl and see what
happens.
