I just want to clean install the new 9.04 distro onto my linux machine, problem is i did not fix a cd drive into the server as i am runing it on remote via putty.
So i want to avoid opening the machine plugging in the drive etc.
by using a usb memory stick . The bios supports boot from usb.

What do i have to do to get the iso file onto the stick and make it bootable?

any help appreciated.
