An image for a USB device, though, has problems with a) multiple sizes of USB devices b) deleting data off of the USB devices c) a couple other things that I'm flaking on at the moment. livecd-iso-to-disk is a shell script that should run on basically any Linux distro with syslinux installed (and people have sent patches to fix up things, eg, for Ubuntu) and liveusb-creator works on Linux platforms and Windows.
