Can I create a LiveUSB for installing Lubuntu without using a CD?

I'm trying to understand how to create a LiveUSB for installing Lubuntu. I'm currently downloading the .iso, and I'm trying to understand whether I can create a LiveUSB for installation without first using a CD.

I'd like to avoid using a CD if possible, but if a CD is necessary to create a LiveUSB, then I expect that I would just skip the USB entirely, and install from the CD.

A physical CD is not necessary to create a LiveUSB; you just need the ISO image. Use UNetBootin to create the LiveUSB; just point it to the ISO and to the drive/device that is your USB stick.

However, depending on how old your computer is, it may not support booting from USB; in that case you can use a CD to "kick-start" the USB.
