How to create a bootable USB stick from Qubes ISO
=================================================
- download the qubes-usb-installer archive and its signature:
- [​http://www.qubes-os.org/files/misc/qubes-usb-installer-1.2.tgz](http://www.qubes-os.org/files/misc/qubes-usb-installer-1.2.tgz)
- [​http://www.qubes-os.org/files/misc/qubes-usb-installer-1.2.tgz.asc](http://www.qubes-os.org/files/misc/qubes-usb-installer-1.2.tgz.asc)
Qubes ISO image is already prepared to boot from USB disk, you just need to copy the ISO onto the USB device, e.g. using dd:
- verify the archive signature the same way you have verified iso integrity:
``` {.wiki}
dd if=Qubes-R2-Beta2-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX
```
``` {.wiki}
gpg -v <file>.asc
```
- Unpack the archive (e.g. in your home directory):
``` {.wiki}
tar -zxvf qubes-usb-installer-1.2.tgz
```
- "Burn" the Qubes ISO onto the USB stick:
``` {.wiki}
./qubes-usb-installer-1.2/qubes-usb-installer path_to_qubes_iso /dev/sdX
```
... where ```/dev/sdX``` is your USB stick. Note that all contents of the ```/dev/sdX``` device will be destroyed - be careful to pass the correct device name there (e.g. not your harddrive).
**Be sure to use a correct device as the target in the dd command above (instead of sdX)**
