USB Xubuntu 8.04 Persistent install from Live CD

I went to this website:

http;//www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/21/usb-xubuntu-804.....

I followed the instructions to the "t", I have been able to boot an X86 machine from the USB key, now I want to use that same USB key on the XO.

What do I have to change, in order to do that?

Any and all information will be really appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't have any other computer that can boot from USB, so my version of Xubuntu for XO ( http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=2240.msg21169#msg21169 ) is derived from "normal" Ubuntu installation process instead of live CD. I guess, it's possible to add kernel and ramdisk image that would be compatible with that USB drive configuration, however there will be still a lot of things missing, so I I would rather recommend to use a separate drive with my version configured for XO (it only boots on XO).
