I was hoping a paint-by-numbers operation, but it turns out I'm finding a lot of unexpected behavior. This is the first time I try to create a Live USB, so maybe the instructions take for granted basic stuff that for me is not so obvious. Could someone give me a gentle push in the right direction?
Firstly, they say:
But when I reach the cp command, I get this error:# Assuming that your usb drive is /dev/sdc
$ USB_DEV=/dev/sdc
$ cp io-live--2016.04--e21-k4.6.3-rt-amd64 ${USB_DEV}
Code: Select all
cp: cannot stat 'io-live--2019.01--full-k4.19.20-k4.19.20-rt12-amd64': No such file or directory
Code: Select all
cp io-live--2019.01--full-k4.19.20-k4.19.20-rt12-amd64.iso ${USB_DEV}
cp: cannot create regular file '/dev/sdb': Permission denied
Code: Select all
sudo cp io-live--2019.01--full-k4.19.20-k4.19.20-rt12-amd64.iso ${USB_DEV}
The copy process takes ~20 minutes. Once finished I move to the next step:
The accompanying image in the instructions:When the copy has finished, create an ext4 partition in the free space of the drive with label: persistence
However, in my case this is what I get:
In my case, the cp command has filled the whole pendrive, with a single partition, of a file system called iso9660.
I haven't had any luck with the alternative method using dd (it says "dd: unrecognized operand"). I thought I'd ask before tinkering around more with the pendrive, because like I say this is a new area for me. I'm sure it's nothing difficult, because I've seen several reports of people in this forum using IO GNU Linux without problems. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the pendrive I'm using is brand new, never before written to? Thank you for any help.
