Well if you want to make it bootable to kickstart or the like, recovery, it's almost as easy as doing a dd with the boot.img file to the usb flash drive.

If you just want the whole OS to boot from it to install from the pen drive, they're cheap enough and big enough nowadays to just put the whole install image on them.

If you're wanting to just run Linux from it, the pendrivelinux site is promising..
