To make a long story short, please read my weblog post:

Summary:
Please make information for installing Ubuntu from a USB flash drive
easily accessible. Currently the download page -
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloading?release=desktop-newest&arch=i386&mirror=http%3A%2F%2Fftp.snt.utwente.nl%2Fpub%2Flinux%2Fubuntu-releases%2F&debug=&download-button= - already contains links to pages on help.ubuntu.com explaining how to check MD5 sums and how to burn the ISO image to the CD. Please write a similar page for help.ubuntu.com with easy instructions for installing Ubuntu from a USB flash drive, and link to that page from the download page. For writing these easy instructions, please take a look at this page - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - and copy only the easy method of doing it with the script, and these - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/04/09/usb-ubuntu-804-installation-from-windows/ - very easy instructions for doing the same on Windows.

I'm willing to help with writing that page with instructions, if it will
be linked to from the download page.
