Thanks nuttypro69, but the link "http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Updating_OpenELEC." is not working.

How to install to USB:
If you like to run the image from a USB stick or have a improperly sized SD card this is very easy:

Thanks. That works well although I need to keep storage as well to hide my USB (even though it shows the label in the files view as USB_16GB, selecting it then shows it as storage).

That link is for updating an already installed OE. If he's starting from scratch he needs this guide
http://squirrelhosting.co.uk/hosting-blo...o.php?id=9
chrlau5, I would suggest writing the image to the SD card as per the guide, then update to rbej's latest build as per the updating guide http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=...g_OpenELEC
Then I would suggest formatting the USB stick so that you can use it's entire space. This is tricky as OE doesn't include fdisk, so you can either use a windows tool like http://www.partitionwizard.com/ (probably the easiest), a Linux Virtualbox, boot your PC with a linux LiveCD, or flash raspian to your SD card (or a spare) and use that to format the USB.
Once you've done that, then you can copy everything under /storage to the USB stick. I did this using WinSCP to first copy/backup the folder to my PC and then transfer it back to the USB stick, which will be mounted as /media/x (where x is the label) but you can probably use a ssh commandline and the cp command if you know the syntax.
Then, as nuttypro69 says, edit the cmdline.txt but you might also want to add the iotimeout part to try and help protect the SD from corruption.
boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/sda1 ssh quiet iotimeout=5000
sudo umount /dev/sda[1-2]
sudo parted -s /dev/sda mklabel msdos
sudo parted -s /dev/sda unit cyl mkpart primary ext2 -- 0 -2
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L STORAGE /dev/sda1
All the files from the 3rdparty folder
and
SYSTEM and KERNEL from the target folder
boot=/dev/mmcblk0 disk=/dev/sda1 ssh quiet

Quote:- speed up UI navigationWhoever was responsible for this patch, thank you very much! Before this release, cycling backgrounds on home screen items stuttered sometimes and wasn't nearly as fluid as transitions in media views (each home item is a folder of images, one is randomly selected when you highlight a menu item). After upgrading to this build, the home screen doesn't fade to black between animations anymore and media view transitions are even smoother when mashing the arrow keys to jump far down a list.
