I tried dd-ing the ISO onto a USB stick, as suggested in http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7, but it didn't boot. Did anyone have better luck with this?
I did all of my test installs from USB, so it does work.
The command is:
dd if=./<name>.iso of=/dev/<device>
I did give the command precisely as you suggest: dd if=./CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-KdeLive.iso of=/dev/sdb (noted at the time).
The error message when I booted with the stick said that some file was not found.
When I later ran livecd-iso-to-disk (under Fedora-20) I got a message that the USB partition had to be FAT formatted. I changed the partition type to FAT (hex 6) and it worked fine. So conceivably this was the reason why the dd-boot did not work. But I have had failure with ISOs installed with dd before (not centOS).
