Hello,
After getting the correct ISO file, I just slapped it onto to flash drive
with dd, and it worked.
Interestingly, turning the flash drive into a Windows 7 install medium
was a lot more complicated.
Best,
Oliver

You have to burn the iso to the usb stick using cd creator or what
ever
you have for the purpose, similar to how one creates a cd or dvd, not copy
it.
I do this frequently and once the iso is on the stick it doesn't seem to
matter what else is on it the iso still works( for me anyway). I have a2
gig stick that I've used this way for years.
