great HOWTO

Hi,

Thanks for the great HOWTO. I've just finished installing Debian etch onto a 1GB partition on a 2GB usb key. It seems to work fine, just looking at getting X running on it now :)

I don't suppose you want to extend this with some tips on how to run the USB key in read-only mode? It would be useful for flash devices in general (not sure how long a usb key will last with lots of writes even if log and tmp are using tmpfs)?
