Creating M7 LiveUSB Stick?

michael_cheah · September 10, 2009, 6:48am

Just downloaded M7 LIVE CDs… Wonder if there’s a way to put the LIVE CDs into a USB startup disk to test it on netbook / avoid burning too many CDs throughout the development cycle.

Currently running openSUSE 11.1 x86_64.

Any help will be appreciated

“dd” is your friend, just dump them on your USB stick.

Thanks for all the replies!!
