The only working PC I have is a 32-bit x86 and has a minimal Debian installation. I need to flash a USB with an ISO file from it to make a live system. I tried for a few days to get flathub or appimage working there, but just can’t. I decided an apt package would be the easiest course of action, but neither Rufus, Impress or BalenaEtcher seem to be available in default repos. It there a program that is there? A bare .elf executable with no packaging would also be fine.
dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=64M status=progress
Safer with bs=4M on older flash.
Oops hit the wrong key, main drive formatted
It’s called “disk destroyer” for a reason.
Always double check your dd commands folks.
Nah… If you use
of=/dev/sdait won’t touch your main drive \sIt freaks me out, but these days with nvme disks this is actually true
Lessons for Newbs right here folks
Thanks, seems it worked. It should be noted that
/dev/over normal/run/media/path can be found withlsblkcommand, out of 2 with identical letter use latter with digit
