Installing the LiveCd version from a stick is simple. It's how I
originally got F11 onto my netbook. Updating to F12 from the full DVD
download (even copied to a stick) is a lot harder than it should be. I
know it can be done because several people have reported doing it, but
they all recommend slightly different and rather hacky methods.

Perhaps a full install or update from USB devices should be added as an
option in future releases as I'm sure it's going to become an
increasingly common requirement.

I finally just did preupgrade and it worked, touch wood, but that
depends on having a working system (and network) when you're doing it.
