The iso file is hybrid format. That means you can dump the iso into a usb drive and get a bootable usb stick, like
$ dd if=android-x86-4.4-RC2.iso of=/dev/sdX
where /dev/sdX is the device name of your usb drive.
Known issues
Suspend and resume may not work on some systems.
The installer can't format ext3 filesystem.
