Can Raspberrypi boot initially from USB stick

Hi,

As i usually install software via USB stick i wonder, will RaspberryPI also install when bootable USB stick is inserted into the USB slot?

E.g. can i bypass in this manner the creation of the bootable SD card.
And just have the install process of the image do the job for me, just like an average installation on a disk. In this case it will be a SD card.

Thanks for sharing.

No. It only boots from the SD card.

Thanks. That will do it.
Already downloaded the image when it was released and am seeding it still via p2p for the community (100Mb glasfiber upload capacity)

Will look for the used tools and give it a try.
