I have downloaded openSUSE-Leap-42.3-DVD-x86_64.iso and I have a 32G USB stick. So first I tried the live-fat-stick script, but it turned out the file was too big for teh FAT32 file system.
Might not work.
So I tried, on Fedora:
# dd if=openSUSE-Leap-42.3-DVD-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sda bs=4M status=progress && sync
This is correct.
Unfortunately, dd came to the expected size and then hung. Ctrl+C would not stop it. I pulled out the USB stick and the installer has booted, but the image appears corrupt - checksums of multiple repo files are reported wrong. I did not risk installing from it.
Maybe it was not hung, but actually syncing data. The kernel can store the entire file in RAM and slowly write it out to the stick. The faster method in my experience is: dd if=ISO of=DEV bs=16M oflag=direct no sync needed that way. On my machine, it writes the image in almost 9 minutes. Notice that if you boot the USB stick, the automatic check from the boot menu will fail, it is designed for DVD - at least till 42.2, I don't know if the issue has gotten around in 42.3. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
