How to put the snapshot onto a USB thumb drive (flash drive) rather than DVD

[jamo]

Going through DVDs at a rate of knots with my 12.04 attempts so I finally bit the bullet and found out how to install from thumb drive (usb flash drive).

This may be old hat to everyone else but I couldn't easily find info in the forum or wiki so I wikified how I did it below in the hope someone else will benefit.

Yay, no more DVDs... which are a real PITA.

Nice.  The USB drive method is much faster as well!
