It works fine for me, at least it did with Alpha (last point at which I
tested). Quite a lot of the 'live image' testing we do is actually done
with USB sticks, it's just easier that way.
Installing from a live image written to a USB stick is certainly
expected to work, if you're having trouble with that please do file a
bug.
In this case, Michael is testing by writing the DVD iso to a USB device
using livecd-iso-to-disk. I've done this procedure with a boot.iso many
times in the past. I'll try with a DVD shortly.
Thanks,
