This works for me onto a 4g flash drive. Obviously adjust architecture
and device names to suit your situation.

wget http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/scientific-linux/6x/x86_64/iso/SL-62-x86_64-2012-02-16-LiveDVD.iso

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=100

sudo dd if=SL-62-x86_64-2012-02-16-LiveDVD.iso of=/dev/sdb
