Thanks Mark for the reply. I knew about Chainbooting, though I didn't realize that was what it was called. I have some of that old hardware that I use with LiveCDs and use the "Smart Boot Manger" floppy for that purpose. I didn't realize that the same could be done for USB. I would love to find a small CD that did just that. Perhaps grml-small could include that, along with the full LiveCD.
I'm going to start experimenting with Persistant Home Directory on a USB 512MB flash key with the grml liveCD. I think that might provide a great solution for me, and even lighter than a USB hard drive. I have everything I need for that, then when chainbooting comes along, I will look into laying down the cash for an USB hard drive.
Thanks again, this was a great article, and your responses have been excellent.
