Re: What program can I download from synaptic to format usb and burn iso ?
gnome-disk-utility can be installed from synaptic
It appears in the menus as 'Disks'
I normally start it by using command line / konsole 'sudo gnome-disks' - the reason is that sometimes it seems to forget to ask for sudo permissions to run and so does not write the USB Image. It is also very useful when using external USB hard drives as it allows you to power off the drive after unmounting - which is a bit nicer than just pulling the cord!
Insert USB Drive, select it in left hand pane.
Top right of the window is an icon which is normally a cog, but can change depending on your icon prefs - it provides a drop down menu including 'Restore Image'
Select that, choose the .iso file, confirm destination - and DO make sure you are pointing at the USB Key - and then away you go.
Provided the key is recognised there is no need to format as the write process creates the correct format for you.

Look here, www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=392
The easiest way is to plug your usb in, do not mount it, and run in terminal:
$ sudo cp iso-file.iso /dev/sdx
where
'sdx' is the target usb drive, for example 'sdb'
'iso-file.iso' is downloaded cd image, for example 'q4os-1.4.7-x64.iso'(Alternatively you can use 'unetbootin' software).
I was always a little puzzled by this - surely that just copies the .iso file to the key as a file - which is not the same as burning an image to a key?
