[ale] SLES on to an usb stick and more.....

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Boris:

Thank you for putting what I have in mind.  Thats what I need usb stick is
the equivalent of my hdd1 where my os and /home/narahari lives.

On another usb stick which acts as my second hdd, I want to be able to keep
my kvm's image.

I understand speed will be slow but it is the functionality I am looking at.
