The documentation on 'livecd-iso-to-disk' is pretty thin.
My main [first?] question is once I create such a USB-stick
image, how do I boot it? Do I have to have a machine with
a BIOS that understands such?
Thanks for any help/pointers

In a word, yes. Typically, you could set up the BIOS to
attempt to boot from the USB first, then the CDROM, then
the harddisk.

In a word, yes. Typically, you could set up the BIOS to

the harddisk.
It can also be more complicated than that. For starters, some bioses
have an entry (usb-zip?) which will boot from a usb-flash drive if it is
formatted in a specific way (see syslinux documentation I think for
details).
Also, the bios on one of my systems has a lot of options, and I think
one of them actually works, but I need to (re)figure out-
USB-HDD/USB-FDD/USB-RMD/USB-ARMsomething....
I agree it would be nice to have a good doc that mentions these things.
I'll certainly drop some notes when I re-figure out the above choice
(usb-hdd didn't seem to work, but I'm pretty sure one of the others did)
