Install XP using USB jump drive instead of floppy?

I will be installing XP (with SP2 already included) on a new home built system. I realize that as part of the installation process I may have to insert a floppy disk to supply any drivers I need that are not on the XP installation CD.

If I understand correctly, I do not have to include a floppy drive inside the case of my new rig. Instead, I can use an external USB floppy drive during the XP installation process. See

This link indicates that _certain_ USB floppy drives will be recognized during the XP installation process based on the content of TXTSETUP.SIF

However, instead of using either an internal floppy drive or one of the recognized USB external floppy drives, I would prefer to use a USB jump drive to supply any needed drivers.

1. Can a USB jump drive be used to supply any needed drivers during the XP installation process?

2. If so, then how do I learn exactly which makes/models of USB jump drives will be recognized by the XP installation process?
