Well, you could just dd the installation ISO to the usb stick,
and then boot from the USB and install onto hard drive.

I have already done that - with an interesting side effect.
The system kept thinking that my USB stick was a cdrom
and would not let me erase it (i.e. overwrite it).
Perhaps I had done something wrong, I do not remember
exactly what.

Good luck.
