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.
