HowTo – create a bootable linux usb thumb drive (the easy way)
Browsing around lifehacker.com I ran across an article on how to create a bootable linux usb thumbdrive. This is by far the easiest method that I’ve run across.
- Download the utility.
- Open the utility and download one of the supported linux iso’s.
- Plug your usb thumb drive into your computer (utility is linux or windows, so you can do this from either)
- Point the utility at the iso you downloaded and the correct usb thumb drive.
- execute, wait and reboot off of your newly created bootable thumb drive.
