[ale] SLES on to an usb stick and more.....

[Chuck Payne]

Narahari,

I do all the time since when I got places I am now giving away 4 GB USB
drives for people to try to use openSUSE, you can do the way Christopher
stated or use SUSE Imagewriter

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick

It the easiest way to create a USB stick, I use for all the Images that I
create from SUSE Studio as well.

If you want I can mail you a openSUSE 13.2 USB Stick.
