If anyone can point me to the details of how to boot the Crucial SSD iso or the files extracted from it on a usbkey it would really make my day - I have searched the web extensively for clues and failed. Maybe I simply don't understand how to get the contents of the iso specified in any of the methods I have found to boot from a usbkey.
Thanks for any hints, tips or pointers to a guide on the web - with detailed steps - (I have searched the arch wiki too!)

But meanwhile I noticed that in the AUR there are:

Hi kYd, thank you for the howto.
I used it for clonezilla and gparted live, spreading the first partition over the complete usb stick. At first it did not boot, but that can be solved with adding the string "live-media-path=/clonezilla/live". Not only backtrack linux is picky about the location of this directory.
Thanks for that teateawhy. I'll update the post.

If you do, 1.5GB may be a little small depending on how many you want to install. Most distributions will be around 600MB-1GB each, but BackTrack is about 3.5GB in itself.
Edit:
Judging from the distros you've listed, 1.5GB should just be enough.
how big should i do my partition on my 4 GB stick?
i have now 1.5 GB for the distros is that enough?
Edit:
Just came across this which takes a different approach to mine, but seems simpler.
It uses Grub and just requires placing the ISO files onto a USB stick.
If you try it, let me know how you get on.
I'll make a guide if you're interested. I've been meaning to do so for some time.
]]>i have partitioned my 4GB usb-stick with a 1.5 GB FAT32
i have done this steps
mkdir /mnt/usbstick
mount /dev/sdd /mnt/usbstick
grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/usbstick /dev/sdd
umount /mnt/usbstick
rm -r /mnt/usbstick
i have now on the stick an folder grub and into it a folder iso "where i have put the distros"
so my problem i what do i have to wright into the grb.cfg?
i have these distros
archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.iso
gparted-live-0.14.1-6-i486.iso
grml64-full_2012.05.iso
install52.iso >>>>OpenBSD
mt420.iso >>>>MemTest
dfly-x86_64-3.2.2_REL.img.bz2 >>>Dragonfly
what can i do now?
