For Debian:
1-  sudo apt-get install mtd-utils

    (On some older Debian/Ubuntu builds, you may need to install
    mtd-tools instead.) 

    crcimg is not packaged for Debian so you'll have to build it: 

         cd /tmp
         wget -c -ndH 
http://dev.laptop.org/~mstone/releases/SOURCES/crcimg-1.1.tar.bz2 
<http://dev.laptop.org/%7Emstone/releases/SOURCES/crcimg-1.1.tar.bz2>
         tar xvf crcimg-1.1.tar.bz2
         sudo make -f Makefile.build install


2-  wget -c -ndH 
http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh

3- sudo mv livecd-iso-to-disk.sh 
<http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh>  
/usr/bin

4- sudo /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr /tmp/boot.iso 
/dev/sde

Assuming of course, your usb stick is /dev/sde

Be happy.
Have fun.
