dd is just 79K

As simple as

sudo dd if=name-of-iso.iso of=/dev/sdb status="progress"

Actually you can just use cp

    cp name-of-iso.iso /dev/sdb

If you care about showing the progress

    pv < input.iso > /dev/sdX
Is a more portable way to do that, as "status=progress" is a GNU modification to dd, as I recall. Of course the most portable is to use one of the POSIX mainstays like cat or cp.
