I'm not aware of any natively supported way. Probably the easiest
solution is simply to buy a bigger USB stick or a portable USB hard
drive. A 32 GB USB stick will run you $60-70 from Newegg; a 160GB
external USB hard drive will run you $55-70 from the same source. Note
that there is quite a difference in speed between flash drives, so you
may want to do some research before you fork over your cash.
