As long as you have a 8gb usb drive you should be ok. It will run as though it were a dvd disk. Saying that there are Linux ditro's that will run off a small usb drive, it depends on your kind of Linux Distro. If possible get a External dvd writer and then you have the best of both worlds.
Please post back if you have any more questions or problems.

You are having only ISO image.But this image has to be understandable and executable through only DVD.
