<br>
I stand corrected. I never knew cp would populate a raw device like that.<br>
<br>
You learn something new every day.<br>
<br>
Thanks and Regards,<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 class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en">https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en</a><br />

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 />
<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 />
<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 what
OS your starting with I used lili today from a Windows box

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 />
