The XO Live CD documentation tells you how use the ISO to create a
bootable USB key.

"""
Boot from USB Memory-Stick or SD/MMC card

Speed and comfort can be increased by using externel USB memory
devices to start the XO-LiveCD. On a Linux Computer you insert an
empty and preformated USB device. Then you open a console window and
change into the directory to tools/. Next you execute:
./make_usbstick.sh -h
which gives further instructions how to use this command and make your
USB device bootable.
