Default UNetbootin
I would also suggest checking out UNetbootin, it can make most linux isos into bootable flash drives.

i wouldn't recommend booting from a cheap usb because of the constant reading and writing that the OS has to do on the drive. Running the OS from your flash drive may burn it up. just a thought

if you're already running 9.04 there's a USB startup disk creator
