As far as I know, if you boot from a CD, you should be able to install
to an external USB drive. Should be possible, yes.

From what the fedora people are telling me, it had
better to /dev/sda or it won't work. If the local
hard drive(s) get your device, then you can't boot.
It might be better for me to stick with the Live USB
and figure out a way to expand /dev/vda1. Seems
vda1 is limited to 3 GB. Gparted doesn't find it
either.
And I goofed. It is /dev/mapper/live-rw that is too
small. vda1 has lot of room.
$ df -kPT
