2) Using dd for a direct copy (Other GNU/Linux distributions)

  • $ sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M;sync

Note that you want the device name (e.g. /dev/sdx) not the partition name (e.g. /dev/sdx1).

3) Under Windows

This manual is not an endorsement for the use of non-free operating systems. This manual is designed to help users migrate from non-free systems to free ones.

  • Insert a USB stick with at least 2GB of free space

The easiest way to get up an running with USB is to use the USB installer provided by pendrivelinux.com. You’ll need to download and install and follow the instructions.
