[orca-list] Is it possible to copy .iso images of Linux distribution to USB flash disk and boot Linux from this stick?

["Mgr. Janusz Chmiel" <chmiel phil muni cz>]

Dear users and developers,

   As many of us probably know, developers of many Linux distributions are 
developing Live daily builds of their distributions. For example, Ubuntu 
development team, but also other developers of Linux distributions are 
developing Alpha releases. Often usage of CD RW or DVD drives can 
unfortunately corrupt The laser lens, as I have experience. Dos somebody of 
us know about even commercial not very expensive tool, for example to The 
price 60 US dollars, which could be used for transferring .iso images to USB 
flash disk? Or this tool is not awailable and do not exist, or it 
development could be very expensive and complex? Thank You very much for 
Your advice.

The kindness regards.
