How to make bootable usb.

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I have done this with LinuxMint but can’t seem to find the info here?

#2

Very easy. (Essentially just copying the relevant image to the USB storage device). Outlined here

and this graphical guide may be helpful to you

If you are actually using openSUSE, install imagewriter. This will make the bootable USB you require.
If you are using Mint, unfortunately you may not be able to use Imagewriter unless you have Mint 13, which did include it. Later versions removed it in favour of Mintstick, but this only writes debian images I think.

#4

All I have ever done is use dd

Never had a problem with it.

#5

Last time I simply used cp pointing to the device not a partition on the device. Seems to have worked ok

Anything that does a simple binary copy to the device should work
