Ahh ... the old "whole dvd on a usb stick".  I've tried that, but not 
successfully so far.  I've been trying to customize Urs instructions on being 
able to put the livecd on a usb stick an boot that.

http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/usbdisk.html

One thing I've found though, is that it is much much faster to do the install 
over a network than a usb stick.  Well ... ok, what I've really found is that 
all the large usb sticks I have are really really slow.
But I've never succeeded in getting what you are planning, to work.
