Ubuntu contains an application called 'USB-creator' (use apt-get or other package management application to download it from the repositories) which can copy an Ubuntu based LiveCD to an USB drive automatically and make it bootable. USB-creator can use the currently running LiveCD or a specficied '.iso' image, and provides for a option for persistant storage using a read-write file on the same partition as files from the CD (some systems use a seperate partition).
