So, from any linux box, assuming Clonezilla-SysRescCD iso file is in your home directory, and your USB device name is sdc4, you just execute the commands:
umount /dev/sdc4
-dd if=~/clonezilla-sysresccd-full-mod-3.1.0.iso of=/dev/sdc4 bs=512
And that's it. Your usb device is ready to boot!!!
+Using the extra space [^]
++If your usb device is more than 400MB in size, the above command will leave the remaining space unused. To verify it, execute the command: +
+fdisk -l /dev/sdc
