The original advice to use cat was changed at http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/manual/en/install-methods/boot-usb-files.xml?view=log&pathrev=67271 because of bug #660776. For simplicity cp was advised at http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/manual/en/install-methods/boot-usb-files.xml?view=log&pathrev=67623 There is no error in the documentation. If cp did not work for you you might want to pursue this on debian-user. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
