Weird, I re-ran the build command and it generated the .iso. Anyway, the instructions here don't really make sense: http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/stable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html#194
It starts off by saying that iso images prepared with xorriso can be copied to the USB stick with a simple cp command. That's great, except that the manual provides no instructions on what it means for an iso image "to be prepared with xorriso". So, anyway, I'm stuck now since I don't know how to do this xorriso thing. I installed it of course with apt-get. And I know my USB stick is /dev/sdc. I tried the command suggested in the manual: $ xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sdc blank=as_needed live-image-amd64.hybrid.iso But that gives the following error: xorriso 1.3.2 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project. xorriso : FAILURE : Drive address '/dev/sdc' rejected because: not MMC and -drive_class 'risky' '/dev' xorriso : HINT : If the address is a legitimate target, prepend "stdio:" xorriso : FAILURE : -as cdrecord: Job could not be performed properly. xorriso : aborting : -abort_on 'FAILURE' encountered 'FAILURE' No idea what all that means or how to fix it.
