It is possible, but it's much easier just to use the UNetbootin tool. That basically makes a bootable flash drive/sd card from a linux iso <a href="http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/">http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/</a> no need to mess about with dd which could damage your system if you aren't careful.<div>

Hi everyone,<br>
I was wondering if it is possible to use the DD command to write a<br>
bootable cd to flash drive/sd card. If so would the then flash drive/sd<br>
card allow me to boot of it, as a friend of mines laptops dvd drive has<br>
up and died so we need a way of installing Linux on to it with out using<br>
a cd/dvd. The laptop has both usb ports and an sd card slot, the bios<br>
says that it should be able to boot from a flashdrive. Thanks for any<br>
help you may give on this matter.<br>
<br>
Tony Shaw.<br>
