bootable USB flash memory sticks for installation

| When I was working on a project where I needed to make bootable USB devices I
| first tried using syslinux. The results were inconsistent.

Thanks for that info.  Negative results are so rarely reported.

| With grub I got consistent results. I never tried any of the other scripts
| mentioned here. I wrote up a web page detailing the steps I used to make a
| bootable USB device.

Thanks.

What .iso distros worked when transplanted (remastered) to ext2?  Do
they all?  Or must they be using grub to start with?

| The process is not that different from making a bootable
| hard drive.

That certainly should be true.  Not that I've done that either.
