Same here :-)
I installed on internal disk only and moved home and swap after install.
But i encountered 2 issues:
- suspend to ram: usb devices are re-enumerated and your sdhc card will 
be "ejected" and the "reinserted", and filesystems wont be happy; the 
solution is to enable CONFIG_USB_PERSIST and apply this 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb@vger.kernel.org/msg02005.html) patch; 
i tested it with custom-built 2.6.25 and it's ok
- suspend to disk: i'm struggling to make s2disk work with swap on sdhc card. 
things seems to be not so easy because card-reader is a usb device
