I did give the command precisely as you suggest:
dd if=./CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-KdeLive.iso of=/dev/sdb
(noted at the time).
The error message when I booted with the stick
said that some file was not found.
When I later ran livecd-iso-to-disk (under Fedora-20)
I got a message that the USB partition had to be FAT formatted.
I changed the partition type to FAT (hex 6) and it worked fine.
So conceivably this was the reason why the dd-boot did not work.
But I have had failure with ISOs installed with dd before (not centOS).
