Have you looked at the XFCE rescue image? It is not an installation live, but one for "using" Linux. It is writeable. You may also install some extra things on it.
Now, how to create your own, I don't know; susestudio is dead, AFAIK.
That might do it, I'll have to check, though it appears fairly limited.
As I said, you can install things to it. Not the kernel.
However, I just came across this: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installation_on_external_hard_drive
I'll have to try that too.
Incidentally, the reason for all this is I bought a 128 GB USB 3.0 stick today for $10. I expect with USB 3, it will be fast enough to be a usable portable system.
I would not risk it that way. A standard installation on an external disk is not optimized to minimize writes, which will kill the stick fast.
Carlos, are you sure about this? I don't have experience with USB live sticks and earlier I also read what you are saying. But I used an SSD for more than 5 years which ran a standard openSUSE installation 24/7 and never happened any problem to it. I would set up a standard openSUSE system on a HDD or SSD and configure to my liking and would copy that system onto a USB stick.
