+It's always good to have this kind of documentation, that we can
+provide on the download page for after use.
+
+Related docs:
+ * http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Draklive#Building_a_live_CD_or_live_USB
+ * http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Installing_Mandriva_Linux#Installation_from_a_USB_stick
+ * maybe others I didn't find
+
+about this, but no equivalent doc on our side for now (in Wiki or website).
+
+So someone to write an article about this is welcome.
+
+Note that Ubuntu does something quite nice as well about this (the
+"show me how" thing):
