BTW: cp has a number of advantages such as.<br>
<ul>
<li>simpler command line</li>
<li>presumably it detects target block size and does transfers in
an optimal manner whereas you have to do this manually for dd</li>
<li>potentially allows for copies to secured/encrypted media where
dd may/maynot</li>
</ul>
<p>Especially the bit about automatically handling the block size
can make a massive difference in completion speed.<br>

Hi Euan,<br>
<br>
In days past you would be correct.<br>
The current instructions are to use cp to copy the ISO directly to
the raw device.<br>
<br>
See <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

cp ...?<br>
<br>
Surely you want to use dd.<br>
<br>
cp would assume the device is already formatted and mounted, and
will just copy the iso to a file on the usb stick.<br>

These days if you are setting up a USB stick to install
debian from and you have a linux system available to do the
task all that is needed is to <br>
<small><i> cp debian.iso /dev/sdXX</i></small><br>
so if your USB stick is coming up as /dev/sdb just run<br>
<small><i> cp debian.iso /dev/sdb</i></small><br>
<br>
I can't remember the recommended windows tool, but the
debian installation guide will point you in the right
direction.<br>
You no longer need to use special tools that manipulate
ISO's to install from USB.<br>
All debian, and most derivatives use hybrid ISO's that can
be booted from cd/dvd/usb/hdd directly.<br>

<div>Debian is easy to install just head to their website
and download the right iso, for installing from usb you
can google a load of usb iso installers depending on

I'm looking to install Debian on a web server and would
like to get the<br>
groups option. <br>
As I have always used SuSE Enterprise Linux as my servers
for everything,<br>
changing to Debian is a choice I decided to make due to
support issues.<br>
My question is I want to install Debian from either a DVD
or USB, can I get<br>
a link to download the files I would imagine an iso would
do the trick.<br>
The web server I'm planning to install is run on Debian
will be WordPress.<br>
Is there anyone that is against this and if so why?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
<br>
Jon<br>
