Well, I am downloading nightly builds but now that I think about it... If I merely use dd to 'burn' the iso image to USB key, I don't expect I could save the games played on the USB key. Or could I? I guess I might want to use a 8 Gb key, with 4 Gb for the image itself, and the rest for the /home partition. Not sure how, if, this is easily doable.
Note that various editions of the game spin are over 4 GB (but under 4 GiB). and hence may not work on a 4 GB USB stick. (I think the currently nightly will just barely fit.)
You can use livecd-iso-to-disk to do this using overlays. There are some limitations of doing things this way, but it works. Also if you have 8GB to work with, you can throw on a few more favorite games. (There are a number of games with really big data sets in Fedora and only a few of those fit on the games spin.)
