Ubuntu Live USB Creator (usb-creator) is an official tool to create Live USBs of Ubuntu from an iso image. The tool is already included in the repositories of Ubuntu 8.10 [http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/usb-creator] and can be installed on Ubuntu 8.04.

Features

*Optional persistence (all changes made to the system are saved, unlike a Live CD)
*Progress indicator
*Does not format the device

Future development

Currently the tool is only available for Ubuntu, but Windows and KDE versions are planned [ [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/devweek0809/InstallerTeam "There will eventually be KDE and Windows frontends" - Evan Dandrea] ]
