Been there, done that, here's how (more or less):
1. Install to a spacious partition on a similar system
2. Shrink partition containing the unstall to <4GB using gparted
3. Archive the filesystem (I use fsarchiver)
4. Format 4GB device (one ext2 partition)
5. Unarchive the archived filesystem to the 4GB device
6. Grow fs on 4GB device to fill the device
6. Install grub on 4GB device
7. Clean up mount point refs as needed
8. Reboot system from 4GB device
