Preparation
The ISO image file can be used in different ways:
traditionally ISO image file was intended to be burnt on a CD/DVD medium using an appropriate tool and performing the operation
by writing the file as "disk image file";
the ISO image file can also be used to start openmamba on a virtualization system (e.g. VirtualBox, VMWare);
the image can be physically copied into a USB storage using a specific tool or the "dd" command:
dd if=openmamba-livecd-snapshot-*.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=32M
