Most of the USB bootable distros simply change their liveCD
configuration to liveUSB configuration. For liveCD, 'isolinux' is the
bootloader and for liveUSB, 'syslinux' is the bootloader. Both are
created by 'Peter Anvin' for Syslinux project.

A loosly configured liveCD image can be converted into liveUSB by simply
copying 'isolinux.cfg' to 'syslinux.cfg' with slight changes. Puppylinux
is using this technique to install liveUSB into your pendrive from a
liveCD session.
It is possible to create liveUSB for any liveCD distros. But it will
take time to tinker the scripts which are placed in iso image specific
to liveCD sessions.
Thanks,
Mohan.
