offlineUnregisteredDon't know the distro but it looks to be a 'live' CD.
Open a terminal.
dd if=<your-trinity-iso> of=<your-pendrive> bs=1MHowever, Trinity website does not state that it is a hybrid iso, so that may not boot up.
Under SliTaz, you can likely convert it to a hybrid iso.
If my memory serves me right,
isohybrid <your-iso-image
& then dd it to pendrive.EDIT
From docs
HYBRID CD-ROM/HARD DISK MODEStarting in version 3.72, ISOLINUX supports a "hybrid mode" which can be booted from either CD-ROM or from a device which BIOS considers a hard disk or ZIP disk, e.g. a USB key or similar.
To enable this mode, the .iso image should be postprocessed with the "isohybrid" script from the utils directory:
isohybrid filename.iso
This script creates the necessary additional information to be able to boot in hybrid mode. It also pads out the image to an even multiple of 1 MB.
This image can then be copied using any raw disk writing tool (on Unix systems, typically "dd" or "cat") to a USB disk, or written to a CD-ROM using standard CD burning tools.
dd if=./archlinux-2010.05-core-i686.iso of=/dev/sdx
Then you can boot arch linux from thumbdrive /dev/sdb. of= means outfile. MAKE SURE IT IS NOT ACCIDENTALLY THE WRONG HARD DRIVE, ELSE YOUR DRIVE'S DATA IS LOST BEYOND testdisk by the strike of a single key. Also in this case, the arch linux install script partitioning works if booted from CDROM but does not work after first boot from USB. rerun it. such errors might occur with some images, as isohybrid is a new feature where BIOS drive reordering might be a problem not yet taken account of.
The ISO 9660 filesystem is encapsulated in a partition (which starts at offset zero, which may confuse some systems.) This makes it possible for the operating system, once booted, to use the remainder of the device for persistent storage by creating a second partition.
