I downloaded openSUSE 11.3 to my MacBookPro, whose disk drive has been broken for some time now. I want to install to new msi cr610 laptop that shipped WITHOUT windows. I could order the box with an install disk and printed manual, but if there’s any way of creating a bootable USB stick from the download I did to my mac, that would be great. I’m dying to get started! 
PS - I’m a linux newbie.
AFAIK you’re better off in the mac forums, I’ve seen posts about this. You can do it the ‘UNIX’ way, but that would require root access. Again AFAIK
I don’t know Mac OS’s but since they are Unix based I’d expect they would have the dd command. So try following the instructions that use the dd command.

like http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick
where you will see info on stick creation in Linux and Windows…
sure would be nice (hint hint) if a Mac Guru would write a section for
Mac users!!
after he used other sources to learn how to do it, of course…maybe
one of these would be helpful, i don’t know:
