Did you unmount your USB stick first and did you substitute sdX with the right device file? If not zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdX just creates the file sdX and copies the unpacked boot.img.gz to it. You can find out which device you are using by calling mount from command line and without any arguments after mounting your usb stick like always. You should see something like /dev/sdf1 on /media/KINGSTON type ext3 where /dev/sdf would be the device of your usb stick. It is important to unmount your usb stick before writing to it via the device file directly, else your data will get corrupted. Then you will have to mount your stick again, then copy your netinst.iso to it. Note that your stick might no longer be called KINGSTON now. > wget > http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/amd64/iso-cd/debian-503-am > d64-netinst.iso > cp debian-503-amd64-netinst.iso /media/KINGSTON Installing a new mbr should not be necessary, but if you do unmout your stick before doing it. > sudo install-mbr /dev/sdX HIH, Flo. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
