Well, what I usually do is: insert the usb drive (but don't mount it)
during a T(A)ILS session, then issue the command

    dmesg


in a terminal. The device name appears at numerious times in the end of
the output, within [square brackets]. For instance, I see something like
the following:

...
[1078315.361139] sd 19:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0
[1078315.362050] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdd] 3940479 512-byte logical blocks:
(2.01 GB/1.87 GiB)
[1078315.368128] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off
[1078315.368333] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdd] Mode Sense: 45 00 00 08
[1078315.368338] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through
[1078315.371700] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through
[1078315.371710] sdd: sdd1
[1078315.376917] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through
[1078315.376924] sd 19:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk

which means that /dev/sdd is the device the usb drive was assigned. Then
I simply do a

    cat /dev/cdrom > /dev/sdd


which installs T(A)ILS to the usb drive.

No.
