If you prefer to use a USB drive, then you just need to copy the ISO onto the
USB device, e.g. using `dd`:
dd if=Qubes-R3-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
dd if=Qubes-R3-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync
Change `Qubes-R3-x86_64.iso` to the filename of the version you're installing,
and change `/dev/sdX` to the correct target device (e.g., `/dev/sda`).
