This is what I have been doing in 11.4 so that I don't have to waste CDs or
DVDs. 
Because I do not use ms windows I skip all instructions from:
http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick pertaining to ms W. 

1. download whatever ISO DVD or live or network I wish to try out and pretend
to test from http://software.opensuse.org/ or from
http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/

2. This step is not necessary for LiveCDs. 
http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick states: "You'll need to look at the USB
DVD section below if you don't want to install from a LiveCD image."
  if necessary # zypper in syslinux
   # isohybrid Downloads/openSUSE-NET-x86_64-Build0381-Media.iso
3. then I open imagewriter and write the image to USB. 

May want to verify that the USB is boot-able.
# fdisk /dev/sdc then p will show:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1   *           0      532479      266240   17  Hidden HPFS/NTFS
