Creating A Bootable USB Device On Linux Mint 11 This tutorial will show you how to make your USB hard disk device a bootable Linux system. Linux Mint 11 needs about 4.7 gigabyte of free space on your hard drive, so make sure your device has at least that much space available. I am using an 8 gigabyte stick which is enough to install Mint on it and additionally have some space left to save data. In my case, I will install Linux Mint 11 on my USB device, but it should work similarly with other systems. To create a bootable disk, you need either an iso-image of the desired Linux system or a real Linux DVD.

Very nice. However, with MultiSystem, more than one live system can be installed on a USB device. MultiSystem creates a grub menu and it is also possible to test the live systems on the device with Qemu or with Virtual Box. --- Unetbootin, another program to create bootable USB devices, offers the possibility to put the live system temporarily in the existing grub on your hard drive. To do so, you need to have enough free space in your root (/), though.
This is a feature of Ubuntu, I believe.
Mint is just a wrapper for GUI without much addition to functionlaity.
