Questions:
1. Is it be possible to create a second partition on the USB drive in order to store any install files and such? I'm imagining that partition 0 has the bootable Ubuntu Live environment and partition 1 has bitcoin install file, truecrypt install file, etc. This is so that you do not need to redownload the install files every time you want to use the wallet.
Thanks to anyone who can answer my questions. I know how to do the Ubuntu Live install and all that, but I want to make sure I know how to juggle all the other files and things I will need.

I was wondering the same thing. I managed to get this work by following this short guide, http://radu.cotescu.com/ubuntu-usb-stick/. Ubuntu is on partition 2, storage is on partition 1.
At this very moment I am working in Firefox in Ubuntu on my partition 2 of my USB drive. I have Bitcoin client and Truecrypt in storage (partition 1). Hope you're able to get it to work.
EDIT: For some reason, I am unable to open a tar.gz file or run an exe file on my Ubuntu install. So, while I have BTC and TC on the storage partition, I cannot run them. Even when I downloaded them again in Ubuntu, instead of using the ones in storage, it would not let me open them. Now I need to figure out why.
Re: Hur hur hur... Hope none of you used Dropbox to store your wallet!
As an alternative to Dropbox, you should check out https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=tetx5o7bz6i2.
Full disclosure, yes that is my referral link. However, by signing up using my link, you and I both will get an extra 500 mb of free storage, on top of the free 5 GB. Or, you can just go directly to their sign up page here https://www.sugarsync.com/free/.
While it's best to still use a tool like Truecrypt in conjunction with SugarSync, they do encrypt your data automatically upon upload. That, combined with the 5 GB of free storage is hard to beat.
