Imagewriter is a utility for writing raw disk images and hybrid isos to USB keys.
The software also has the capability to be used in “kiosks” that may have external harddrives. To run in kiosk mode, which both ignores large hard drives and marks unknown USB sticks as “SUSE Studio”, run imagewriter with the -k option.
This is free and open source software.
