Look in the menu. Explore your system.

If you look in the right-click menu, one of the options is to install to usb. Note that it would be good to double-check that your machine bios allows you to boot from usb before you start...

You can also look in the dsl wiki for more details on how to set things up manually to be able to boot from usb.
