A way of installing lion on to USB key as a working/bootable system?

I'm looking for a way to install working/bootable system via a 32gb USB key,
what's the best way of going about it?

I stress I am not seeking to create a USB installer of Lion.

I want to be able to use the USB key to bootup from on various different
intel macs.

Any help would be greatful.

Just select the USB device/partition as install medium during the installation. That’s what worked perfectly for me.

And you can boot via usb and use the usb drive as normal system?
I just want to be able to use as normal system and tech/sytems tools.
