Actually, to be certain that Raspbmc will install to USB check the boot partition after you run install script.
It should be a file on there called usb, if not put an empty file called usb.txt (or just usb without extension).
This is actually what the win installer does for you, so you can do it manually to.
NB! This will wipe your USB (first that the Pi detects) so see to that you have an empty thumb connected and nothin else connected!

Thx, will let you know if it worked.
And to test if it really runs from USB, try to boot without USB in de pi would be a good test I guess ;-)

True, you will then only see the R logo (the smaller one up to the left), nothing else happens.

Well the second try gave me raspbmc on USB, first time in the end after the reboot I got stuck with a black screen.
Changed the usb slot and installed everything again. It worked, not sure if it even was because of the USB port.
Played some with Rampbmc. Nice, but did really notice that it's amazing faster.
Will play more with it, also use NFS now instead of Samba, that also speeds up the Pi.
Thx again.

Not sure if ftp is enabled, but ssh is so you can use scp (see winscp if you are doing it from windows.)
