I just want a netinstall on a pendrive. [but when i just boot from a cd,
and install to the pendrive, it just "hangs" for 2 days, formatting the
pendrive... :\]

thank you!


First of all, google can help a lot about this. Second, there's nothing special you should do except maybe being more careful about the filesystem options (eg journaling can wear out your drive faster - see a previous thread on this list regrading installing on a external drive). If it just hangs, it means that the I/O is slow enough to make your pendrive hardly usable for this purpose.
