I think Mark has made a fair point, but not in a fair way. He is probably referring to http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/ which is not particularly nor exclusively aimed at Linux users. He (and others) might wonder why there is substantial advice for users of non-Linux OSs on writing an ISO image to a CD but nothing for writing to a USB device. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
