Assuming you have no uncommitted local modifications, safer and better 
is to run

hg bundle --base null /media/usb/myprj.hg

when you are done working, then when you get to the next machine just run

hg unbundle /media/usb/myprj.hg
hg up

which will pull in all changesets you don't have here already. The 
bundle will also be substantially smaller than a zipped-up working copy. 
(You can use a different --base if your project is big and you want to 
save only incremental changes, though you then need to remember which 
was the last change you had on the other machine.)
