8.10 has a new tool called usb-creator.
It works on 8.04 just fine.
You can download it here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/usb-creator/0.1.7
Makes setting up a Flash drive a breeze.
There is the choice to make the drive persistent or not.
It will install to USB directly from an iso on the desktop.
No CD's required.
Installed Xubuntu 8.10 onto a 2G flash and still have 1.2G free.

If you want a working Flash drive install ubuntu to it just like it is a normal hard drive.
Most newer computers see Flash as just another HDD.
This will give you an o/s that can be highly customized.
You can clone the completed thumbdrive if you wish.

Please take a look at this website/link for Gutsy (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/). It's dedicated to this sort of thing.
