Hi, > After downloading > https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-9.0.1-i386-lxde.iso > and putting it on a USB stick with unetbootin,
Afaik, unetbootin unpacks the ISO and replaces the boot loader software. Debian discourages its use with live and installation ISOs. The Debian ISOs for i386 are ready to be simply copied onto the device file of the overall USB stick (i.e. to /dev/sdX not to /dev/sdX1). After ensuring that /dev/sdd really is the device address of the USB stick, you just do dd if=debian-live-9.0.1-i386-lxde.iso bs=4M of=/dev/sdd ; sync See https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb Example how to make sure to have the correct device file or to make a backup of the old stick content: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Isohybrid#Copying_onto_USB_stick_by_shell_commands Have a nice day :) Thomas
