The tool could not be simpler, feed it any .ISO and tell it which mounted device it should install to.  It will handle creating the necessary [boot] partitions and sizing accordingly.   So far I’ve tried it with Backtrack 3, 4 and Helix.

Download the multi-platform tool here: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
