I was looking for either
- official documentation or
- official image (I cited a 3rd party one in OP, A. Do not know whether it
  would be secure B. I anyway tried it and it didn't work) or
- instructions to install using installer, using which I am able to
  install to a hard disk, (why not to a USB stick)
- your blog (I cited in OP) is nice. I just wonder why the standard
  installation procedure should not work for a stick.
- Will the end result be different with your method vs creating a live
  image (as Gary's reply suggested)?
