I don't think that dd if=openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync is "easy" (I can do it, but my mother for example cannot deal with that on her machine) and this is for the LiveCD.... what about the DVD iso?
dd is a dangerous tool. You get the device name wrong and you might destroy your entire hard disk content. And it is easy to get the name wrong: in my computer, device names change from boot to boot, the moment I plug an external usb disk. The other thing is that other distros produce a special image for usb sticks, in ext3/3 format, not an iso, which is RO. This may only be useful for installation. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
