Just ssh into your RPi and run xbian-config. (It should load automatically unless you have disabled it). From the menu choose USB install (Option 7 I think) and run it from there. ** Make sure you specify the correct device **

Then just edit /boot/cmdline.txt (Make a copy first - cp cmdline.txt cmdline.txt.bak) and change /dev/mmcblk01 (or something like that) to /dev/sda1 (or whatever your USB stick shows up as). Reboot and you will be running off of the USB stick.

However, I doubt you will see much improvement - if any - as you are already using a class 10 SD card.

Also note the RPi does not recognise USB 3 so will only use USB 2

Awesome thanks!
I will try (try being the operative word) when I get home.
Do you think that the menus will run quicker than OE?
