  • Open a terminal and type 
tail -f /var/log/syslog
  • Insert the USB drive.
  • Search the output of the logfile to locate the device name of the USB pen drive. This will be /dev/sda, sdb, sdc, etc. Note: the partition number is not important, only the device name. Also choosing the wrong drive will erase the content of that mistaken disk, which may contain your system partition.
  • Unmount the pen drive if the OS has automatically mounted it.
  • type, swapping sda for the correct device: 
dd if=/path/to/sosimage-v2.0.img of=/dev/sda
  • wait until the write has finished.
  • type: 
sync
  • USB pen drive can now be used to boot a thin client.
