You could also use Puppet-Gluster+Vagrant to build a cluster of X
machines (say four) and then shut those down, and then save the four
images to your USB key. The cool thing is that you only need to store
one base image. The four other images work as deltas (so they're very
small).

The one problem with either setup, is that you'd might need something
to make sure the guest network is working as expected. It's probably
fairly easy to get this all working off a stick that's plugged into
say a Fedora machine.

PS: btw 3.5.0beta works automatically with Puppet-Gluster+Vagrant.
