It isn't supposed to. It should generate a debian-live/binary.img. > - there is no documentation how to write what to the USB stick You can use 'dd'. 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.

Also, the grub option doesn't currently work on usb. Use syslinux for now.
