Successfully installed Lenny using this method last night. The only
post-installation tweak was to comment out the cd-rom line in
/etc/apt/sources.list so aptitude doesn't try to look at the usb memory
stick when looking for updates.

Just curious but have you tried UNetbootin?

or greater usb memory
