Re: [PLUG] install debian from live usb
|
Hi
If it messes up, why can not you try two usb drives. One containing
.img image and other containing .iso image. It is nice to have a single
usb drive doing the installation. If you still want single usb drive
and space available , please copy .iso image into .img file system (dd
.img and cp .iso to .img file system) and boot from .img.
With regards
Antony
