yeah.. I cant quite remember offhand but don't you just make sure you have an
umounted filesystem on the usb device and use ''dd -blah.iso /dev/whatever''
yeah looks stupid.. cant remeber but it's like one command to issue and it will
slap the iso on the usb drive and it be bootable and all in less than 10
minutes..

I think its dd.. hell I might be compeletely off.. I just know it's one of the
easiests things I've done after wasting hours trying to find a gui app that
would do it..
