Greetings,
I've submitted a patch on behalf of the Zeppelin Project which adds a tool to create Ubuntu 8.04 bootable USB sticks running XBMC. Below is a link to the patch, and an excerpt from the patch description.

Quote:Ubuntu 8.04 StickBuilder
This patch provides a utility which creates an Ubuntu 8.04 - based bootable
USB distribution.
It will boot directly into X and automatically start up XBMC. In many
cases, it will launch XBMC fullscreen (although that isn't yet perfect on
non-standard screen resolutions).
To build the image, you must use a 32-bit Ubuntu 8.04 host OS, as the
process uses components and utilities from the host.
The main OS filesystem does not have persistancy enabled, but there is a
second filesystem on the stick to store media files.
There are 2 ways to build a stick image: and advanced which works nicely
when inserting the stick into a Windows computer, and a compatible mode,
which will boot on computers with buggy BIOS.
