Let's go over the process of creating a bootable ISO: You will see any USB drive you have plugged into your machine listed as an option by the way, although if it has a GPT partition table it will be off-limits (at the time of writing this at least). I think they're way more interesting any of the other options though, either creating a recovery CD/USB or creating an image to be later burned into a CD or copied to a USB stick.

Recent tweaks to the forum software also made it impossible to write the whole guide in a single post, there are character limits now! Which works for our advantage as well because I'll be splitting the guide in different posts and linking to them here in the starting point: I was unsure about where to post the thread, no category seemed appropriate so I'll guess this one will have to do. There is plenty of information on the topic already, but I thought a thread in here wouldn't hurt so here we go.
