The easiest way to 'burn' iso to USB disk is by using dd command. Let's say you don't want to burn your newly downloaded iso to CD/DVD but want to use USB disk instead, you can run this command :
dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdb
This assumes your USB disk is /dev/sdb. You can use mount command to check what device your USB disk is using. Now you can install your new distro using USB disk.
Note: You can burn iso this way if the iso is of type hybrid. Read here for more information.

Just start the Start up disk creator tool
Thanks a lot
But first you need to be root by typing
sudo -s
and you can also check if it sdb or not by :
- plugging your USB
- Opening Disk Utility

I have a question. I am trying to get Linux Mint installed on my Sony Vaio laptop, and i was wondering how would I be able to Boot from the USB flash drive instead of the CD-Rom? Feel free to email me at openwaters84@gmail.com It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
have you tried the steps in my post?
Jesse Mills, that will be good if you're in GUI.
