Power down system, remove power/data from internal drive, boot to linux media with usb installed. Install system to usb flash drive. Update it and you have a fully working upgradable portable linux distro.
Assumes a few things.
As others have noted. Live usb creators are not 100% effective. Pendrivelinux.com has some web tutorials.
