I am running Debian, but lack of driver support for stuff I want has made me decide to switch to Mint.  Unfortunately, I don't have a DVD and the Mint community seems to have decided I really, really need a DVD.  I have a USB, but I'm not sure how to burn the .iso image, rather than the file, to said USB in order to then boot from it in order to install the OS.  I'm also not convinced this is necessarily the best/simplest way to go about installing Mint.  I just want to wipe everything and get a clean install of Mint.  What do I need to do to do that without a DVD?
How can I install Mint without a DVD?
debian;linux mint;usb;system installation
