The above command is not correct, as explained here: http://live.debian.net/manual/en/html/the-basics.html#181 Your problem is that the image needs to be dd'd to the whole device, not a partition. This will, of course, wipe the entire contents of the device. Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
