I was convinced I'd actually done this, but my memory must be faulty.

However what you can do is create a Boot CD (download boot.iso) and then
install using the pendrive as installation media (created using dd as
above). I guess you could even create a Boot USB drive and a (separate)
Installation pendrive on two USB ports. Or try partitioning the
pendrive, installing the boot.iso file on the first partition (e.g.
using Live-CD Creator) and putting the distro DVD on the other.
