I need to make a live USB drive for CentOS for my Pentium III thinkpad - openSUSE won’t run on it 
On Windows I used Universtal USB Installer. On other linux distros I used unetbootin. I was going to install unetbooin on openSUSE but I got a warning that this is not a stable and experimental package.
What do you guys use to create live Linux USB drives?
This guide might be helpful to you

For openSUSE, dd - the DVD images are already prepped for writing to a USB
drive, so nothing special needs to be done to them.

Okay I tried imagewriter, it didn’t work for me. I got the following message:
Sorry, I can’t write this iso. You need to use another program to write it to DVD.
Universal USB extractor and Unetbootin on windows had no problem…

Again, try using dd to write it to the flash drive. That’s what I did
and it just worked.
If you’re writing from Windows, you can use Cygwin to get a copy of dd,
but you’ll have to read the docs to see how to identify the correct
device. Identifying the wrong device can end up overwriting data you
meant to keep.

He wants to write a CentOS image, not openSUSE, if I understand him correctly.
@mattdocs12345:
Just use unetbootin, if it worked for you on other distros.
That warning about “not stable” means, that it is just not officially included in the distribution.
It should work anyway.
But if you use a 1-click install, make sure it matches your openSUSE version, otherwise you might break your system.
Thanks, I missed that

Somehow I missed that as well.
