You can mount the iso file with "sudo mount file.iso /mnt", and then
use "diff -r /mnt /stick" or similar.

No: it can:
diff /bin/ls /bin/pwd
Binary files /bin/ls and /bin/pwd differ
In your case you only need to know if the files differ, thus use
diff --brief -r ...
diff --brief /bin/ls

You can also use dd to copy the usb stick back to a file, and compare the
two files with cmp. (The original iso file should be an initial segment of
the stick copy.) Maybe you can use cmp to directly compare the iso and the
usb device, but I've never done it that way. --Stephen

It could just be /that/ USB stick. Did you have another to try?
