The TGZ-USB-Installer plug-in works great on and is made specifically for 4GB sticks. But what if you have a stick larger than that and want to use it for Enigma2? Once you have done Step 5 in the plug-in, the bootargs are set in the receiver and you need never run the plug-in again unless you want to revert back to the original settings.

You can do a manual installation under Linux on your computer (installed or live utility distro on disk--Parted Magic is a good one). Here are the steps:

1. Take a USB stick and partition it into two partitions: one FAT32 format and the other EXT2 format labelled "MINI1". Each partition should be at least 384MB.
2. Open up the .tar.gz image file with an archive utility and extract the contents into the EXT2 formatted partition, making sure that directory structure is preserved.
3. Copy the uImage file from the boot directory to the root of the FAT32 partition.

That's it! Your disk is ready to boot. If you want, you can even make a third partion formatted to EXT2/EXT3 and label it "RECORD" to use as your HDD if you don't have an internal hard drive installed and you want to save the wear and tear on the internal flash of the receiver. A one-stick solution!

[Note: If I ever find out a way to install more than one image on a stick and be able to select one at boot like GRUB or BURG on Linux, I'll append this thread with another post.]
