minus-squareSunshine (she/her)@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 days agoThanks for letting me know about these options. I haven’t tried the dd command though.
minus-squareJim East@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoYou’re welcome! To make a bootable USB drive with dd, the command would be sudo dd if=/path/to/installer.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M && sync where the sdX is your actual USB drive.
