I wouldn't call that an installation on USB but it is a start at learning the
steps to
get there. I say this because it installs the liveCD which is probably not the
same
as a standard filesystem installation. For instance, in Knoppix, doing this
type of
thing puts a 700MB filesystem image on the disk and then uses the CDROM
boot image as the boot process. I've got a coffee table computer setup this way
so that all I have to do is copy the image and boot files to update the system
and I've hacked the loader to enable persistent storage outside of the liveCD
image.

The URL does describe most of the hard parts to USB booting though.
