Hi Thomas, nice tutorial, you wrote, very impressiv! Maybe you might want to add a suggestion for readers, which might be the best way, to get an ISO to an usb-stick? The debian manual suggests using the "dd" command and claims, not to use Rufus, as it might not work. I myself made good eperiences with dcfldd instead of using dd. In my case i am creating an ISO-Livefile of a running system with bootcdwrite and then copy it to an usb-stick using dcfldd. As these are large files (greater than 25GB), the danger, something gets lost during copy, is high. And in the past, dd worked not as good as dcfldd. With dd I got more errors. I already mentioned: dcfldd is testing very copied segment with a hashsum, that is correct, which dd does not. As I am doing this builds regularly, I already did about 60-70 copies in the last, so I think, meanwhile I know, what I am talking about. A little side effect of this was, that some manufacturers obviously do not like ext2/3/4 format (to which the usb-stick were reformatted). After about 10th to 15th time of reformate, they died (memory segments got lost). Others I already during years are reformatted about 50 times or more and are still in best health. Anyway, just some ideas and maybe you or someone else finds it usefull. Best wishes Hans
