It depends what he wants. larch puts the system into squashfs + aufs,
creating a 'live' system (it can also do this from an existing
installation). This is compact and runs pretty quickly from USB stick,
but making changes persistent is not as straightforward as with a
'normal' installation. If that's what he wants, fine, but it sounded
like he might rather be looking for a plug-in 'normal' installation,
in which case the other suggestions would be more relevant.
