It is documented, too: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/Howto/USB Note: this doc is for live-package, not live-helper, but it works the same way. - there is no documentation on how then to make the USB stick bootable The image written in binary.img is bootable. When you dd it to the usb stick, the usb stick will be bootable. - there are no vmlinuz* nor initrd* files generated Sid is buggy and won't build at this time. Build against etch or lenny instead. Also, the grub option doesn't currently work on usb. Use syslinux for now.
