Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Rep:
You can use:
Code:
$ dd if=./mint.iso of/dev/sdb
where sdb is your USB drive. But if your USB drive is different, you have to use to use the correct drive. If you're trying to make the drive in Windows, the above will not work.
What working operating system(s) do you have available?
Rather than being an object that you create, Mintstick is the Mint-provided application used to create a bootable flash drive with the Mint installer on it. Is that what you mean?
One is to use a program. Plenty exist. They usually cheat the live image to run on a usb.
Two is to dd a file to a usb. It won't be full install in many cases. Some like SuseStudio created would be.
Three is to install the OS on to the usb as if it were a real hard drive. Safest way is to remove power to internal drives. Boot to DVD and insert usb. Then follow installer.
