    An easy way to put any Linux installer .iso (LiveCD) on a flash drive is a free program called Unetbootin (Google it). They have versions for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can tell it to use an .iso you've already downloaded or pick a distro from the drop-down list and it will d/l and install it to the flash drive for you. They update the program frequently to keep up with the latest and most popular distros. Always use the latest version available from their website to ensure a workable installer on the flash drive.
