I do this fairly regularly.  I have configured my laptop to boot first 
off of the USB interface.  Each time a new Fedora release comes out, I 
plug in my USB drive and install it there, and migrate my home directory 
and whatever settings to it.  That way, I can make sure everything works 
well before I upgrade the Fedora on the internal drive.  If I find 
problems I can't solve, I just unplug the USB drive and boot off the 
internal one, and my old setup is there untouched.
