1. Download your chosen ISO file, noting the path to where it was downloaded (i.e. /home/username/Downloads/)

2. Insert your USB stick and learn how it is recognized by the system, To do so, enter the command:

sudo ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/*usb* (or eliminate "sudo" if entering as root)


This should produce output along the lines of:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2010-03-15 22:54 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-_USB_DISK_2.0_077508380189-0:0
-> ../../sdb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-03-15 22:54 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-_USB_DISK_2.0_077508380189-0:0-
part1 -> ../../sdb1


3. Unmount the usb stick (NOTE: replace the X in sdX with whatever was returned in the first line
from command above)

sudo umount /dev/sdX


4. Use this command to write (as root) the image iso to your USB stick:

dd if=/path/to/your/distro.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync



You should now have a bootable USB stick of your chosen Operating System.

I do like Pendrive Linux, but you can't create a persistance file with that and Fedora.
