!yumi
dpkg 2017-01-31 16:45:45
well, yumi is a tool that can make bootable usb device. It is not recommended for use with Debian CD/DVD images, as it mangles the installer in cruel and unusual ways, resulting in hard to debug problems. Ask me about , ,

lol @ "cruel and unusual ways" :-D
klys 2017-01-31 16:57:29
think it says that aout unetbootin too
klys 2017-01-31 16:57:47
about*
unborn 2017-01-31 16:57:47
I will possibly use cp iso or dd
somiaj 2017-01-31 16:57:53
and rufus, the factiod has been copied around
somiaj 2017-01-31 16:58:16
unetbootin was removed from debian for this case, though there are uses for it if one wants to create other iso's from debian
unborn 2017-01-31 16:59:15
shall I always use sync command after cp iso?
unborn 2017-01-31 16:59:25
or is not need it?
missmbob 2017-01-31 16:59:55
install guide says to use it.
unborn 2017-01-31 17:00:10
cool thank you
dvs 2017-01-31 17:00:11
unborn, for cp, yes
klys 2017-01-31 17:00:15
sync before ejecting or powering off
unborn 2017-01-31 17:00:40
dvs: I think its even for dd as well
dvs 2017-01-31 17:00:53
unborn, no
unborn 2017-01-31 17:02:42
dvs i was always creating sicks like dd if=debian.iso of=device bs=4M; sync perhaps it cannot do any harm
dvs 2017-01-31 17:03:13
unborn, adding sync wont do any harm. It's just unnecessary
dvs 2017-01-31 17:03:23
for dd
klys 2017-01-31 17:04:29
as long as you do a normal restart or umount, it should be unneccessary though it doesn't hurt, L.Torvalds recommended doing it three times before rebooting linux 1.x
unborn 2017-01-31 17:06:34
oh I did not realised that could be used for windows isos too
dvs 2017-01-31 17:08:42
dd can copy windows isos to flash drives but it won't boot like a debian image.

!winusb
dpkg 2017-01-31 17:10:09
somebody said winusb was a tool to create bootable usb using windows ISO. debian package can be found at https://dipconsultants.com/jessie/?dir=winusb/binaries
unborn 2017-01-31 17:14:56
missmbob: well i just booted up windows from usb created with dd.. works fine for me. I was normally had to create bootable stick of windows from within windows it self and cmd. finally I dont have to touch it
