I found this today,not used it,thought it may be useful. It creates bootable live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions.

It works well, is simple to use and it is the easiest way by far of installing Linux on a netbook
I used Linux Live USB (http://www.linuxliveusb.com/)
Works well.
The thing I like most about UnetBootin ( compared to the other ways of creating a bootable USB stick ) is that it doesnt reformat the USB stick ( as long as its already FAT32!). That way you can still use the stick for other things and easily replace the bootable distro on it without wiping everything else!! :)
You also don't need Windows with UnetBootin as it has a Linux version as well >:D
