I have my knoppix remaster running from USB drives, it is Rapidweather Remaster of Knoppix Linux.
Check my blog for details.

Specific url's for the USB setup are:

I have tested it extensively, and it's very reliable.
Does require some files on the hard drive to kick it off, but it will run on older PC's without the ability to "boot directly from a USB drive" bios.

The screenshots page is here, same as when running from the CDROM or Hard Drive, or the USB drive.

The online "Getting Started Guide" is here:

I have several mouse cursor themes installed, pick one and use it in seconds. All are larger then the default cursor in something like Ubuntu 7.10, for instance, so use with a laptop screen is not a problem. Many other unique features are detailed in the Getting Started Guide.
