I downloaded the usb-image from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/ ie. the file boot.img.gz 02-Nov-2006 16:06 15.0M Before continuing I get from fdisk -l: Disk /dev/sda: 1021 MB, 1021312512 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 124 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 125 997344 e W95 FAT16 (LBA) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(123, 254, 63) logical=(124, 42, 45) As from the manual http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch04s04.html I issue zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda and get from 'fdisk -l' Disk /dev/sda: 1021 MB, 1021312512 bytes 32 heads, 61 sectors/track, 1021 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1952 * 512 = 999424 bytes This doesn't look like a partition table Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order Stick cannot be formatted by cfdisk, but fdisk does the job. HTH, Johannes I downloaded the file twice, 15.0 MB; same result. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
