I've just finished downloading Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) Flight 6's Live CD and was wondering if anyone had any experience or knows if it's possible to take an ISO image OS and get it on a USB Memory stick and boot the OS in that fashion? I have a 1GB USB Memory stick, WinRAR, a USB2.0 port; could anyone break the process down for a linux novice?
Boot Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) Flight 6 Live CD from USB Stick
here's a method that works for some distros (it won't be harmful because you're not messing with your hard disk) courtesy althack.com
unrar the contents of the iso onto your usb drive
then get syslinux and unzip to a convenient location
open up command prompt (cmd) and type in
cd drive:pathtosyslinuxwin32
(if syslinux has been unzipped into c:syslinux you need to go to c:syslinuxwin32)
syslinux -f usb-drive:
where usb-drive is D: E: F: or whatever it shows up as in my computer
set your bios to boot from usb
keep your usb drive plugged in
you should have the ubuntu boot screen in front of you

I will have time this week to test this out and let you know how it turns out.
A sincere thank you.
did this work? any updates? thanks.
I'm trying to make Ubuntu Studio (7.04) ISO files to boot with my 4GB flash drive.
I've followed all info above and used the latest syslinux (3.51) but didn't work.
After booted from the USB drive... I've got...
"could not find kernel image"
than what shall I enter into...
