Even easier would be to use (as root):
dd if=/path/to/livecd.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=2k
(Substitute the appropriate path to the ISO and the correct device for
your *unmounted* USB stick). Note that this is a destructive process and
will completely rewrite your USB stick.
Have you actually done this successfully? I thought the boot loader
location was different on a CD and a hard drive. Or will your BIOS
let you define a USB stick as a USB CD-ROM drive?
