How to create a bootable USB stick from Qubes ISO
=================================================
- download the qubes-usb-installer archive and its signature from here FIXME; it is a bash script, so you need to run it on an existing Linux system
- verify the archive signature the same way you have verified iso integrity
- ` tar -zxvf qubes-usb-installer-1.2.tgz `
- ` ./qubes-usb-installer-1.2/qubes-usb-installer path_to_qubes_iso /dev/sdX `, where /dev/sdX is your USB stick
- 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)
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).
- verify the archive signature the same way you have verified iso integrity:
``` {.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).
