<li>Use this script file [http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=hosted/livecd;a=blob_plain;f=tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh;hb=HEAD livecd-iso-to-disk] to create a bootable image. (Run {{Code|chmod +x tools_livecd-iso-to-disk.sh}} after you download the script to make it executable.)</li>

<li>Execute, as the root user, in one command with arguments, the following:

{{Code|./tools_livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb '''300''' --home-size-mb '''175''' --delete-home --unencrypted-home '''/path/to/source.iso''' /dev/sd'''?'''1}}

:'''Note''': The graphical Liveusb-creator method ~~may be used~~ (see the first Windows [[#with Microsoft Windows |method]]).

:'''Note''': The graphical Liveusb-creator is an alternative installation method (see the first Windows [[#with Microsoft Windows |method]]), but it does not create the separate home.img filesystem, and so, the write-once persistent storage on the disk is more quickly consumed (see [[LiveOS image]]). If the USB device does not boot after running Liveusb-creator, the command {{Code|liveusb-creator --reset-mbr}} may help.

::If the USB device does not boot, ~~try~~ the command {{Code|liveusb-creator --reset-mbr}}
