[finnix] usb thumbdrive without formatting / partitioning?

[Geoffrey Lane]

I'm looking to replace another distro, want debian based cause of ease of
update/installing. I always keep a 4gb drive on me, for emergencies, backup,
and general use.. This is where my last distro was housed.
I realize there is a cheatcode/command to install on thumbdrive.... but I DO
NOT want to haveto backup->restore this drive to install the distro. My
first question of course is will it boot from vfat32 drive? If so, anybody
made a howto on how to accomplish this without backup/erasure/hair
pulling/cursing?

I'd really appreciate if someone could shed a light on the proper way to do
this
and would be really good resource, I think, on the website
Thanks,
Freeballer
