Yeah, I did.

As best as I can tell, there's a thing called isolinux which lets you 
boot Linux from a CD-ROM. And then isohybrid allows you to modify such 
an image so it can be booted from any block device [that the BIOS 
supports]. I'm not immediately seeing how this relates to booting 
another OS.

I did, however, see several references which seem to suggest that just 
grabbing a random Linux live CD and dumping it onto a flash drive will 
probably work, so I might just try that to see if my BIOS even 
/supports/ such a thing...
