** Flashing USB with "dd"
|
|
~dd~ is a command to convert and copy a file. It is useful to copy information from a
|
|
disk.
|
|
|
|
It can be used to create bootable USB[fn:1].

** List blocks
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src sh
|
|
lsblk
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
* First, obtain a ISO image:

|
|
* Then, open a shell and use the command
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example sh
|
|
sudo dd if=/home/user/Documents/parabola-2016.11.03-dual.iso of=/dev/sdb1
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|

The ISO image is copied to "sdb1" (USB volume)
