USB

Hello,
Just discovered ReactOS beta version and my curiosity was peaked because XP is slow on the PC and due to custom hardware / drivers, Linux won't load. I understand that it is in beta development but the thought of a Windows compatible open source OS is hard not to try.
I downloaded the latest build to try to load on a old OQO 2 UMPC that came with windows XP to see if I could load the OQO drivers but after loading a few drivers when I ran the install CD, it hung on a black screen.
I believe this is caused by buggy USB drivers?
If so, is this currently being addressed? USB is the only method available to load software on this machine.
Also, is there anyway to create a live disk to try future versions (yes, I know it will be slow) without actually loading it onto the machine?
Thank you,
Mark
