If referring to a Porteus 4 or Porteus 5 system ISO check the /USB_INSTALLATION.txt file in the Porteus ISO.

if you mean: use the USB like a cd, ie, use the whole drive read only.. porteus-5.0rc3(and the upcoming final) is a hybrid iso, so simply: eg. if your USB is sdb: (as root)
BEWARE this will use the whole drive and destroy anything on it.

Code: Select all

cp path/to/Porteus-<DE>-v5.0rc3-<ARCH>.iso /dev/sdb
of course, using the frugal install method (mentioned above) gives a much more flexible setup.
