For Sugar on a Stick, we've been using a hacked up image which could be 
burned to a CD and included not much more than the isolinux contents. 
When booting from the CD while having your USB key plugged in, it was 
still able to boot. But still: really hack-ish and probably not really 
recommendable (just sayin').

Oh, and Matthias, it's really a cool plan to move into this direction!

We've been following such a distribution model obviously for the 
(Fedora-based) Sugar on a Stick, too. Would be interesting to see and 
probably work together on issues that arise, if any. ;)
