Can I do full install of Ubuntu 11.10 on 4GB usb stick? Can I do so without downloading alternate version of Ubuntu?

All I want is

firefox
wi-fi

What I have

live USB of Ubuntu 11.10
notebook without hdd
internet access
4GB usb stick

UPDATE after this question was closed

The reason why I need full install is to install new programs (skype) and do upgrade (of flash player)
