to create the bootable GNU+Linux USB drive:
Connect the USB drive. Check dmesg:\
-**\$ dmesg**\
+ $ dmesg
Check lsblk to confirm which drive it is:\
-**\$ lsblk**
+ $ lsblk
Check that it wasn't automatically mounted. If it was, unmount it. For
example:\
-**\$ sudo umount /dev/sdX\***\
-**\# umount /dev/sdX\***
+ $ sudo umount /dev/sdX\*
+ # umount /dev/sdX\*
dmesg told you what device it is. Overwrite the drive, writing your
distro ISO to it with dd. For example:\
-**\$ sudo dd if=gnulinux.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync**\
-**\# dd if=gnulinux.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync**
+ $ sudo dd if=gnulinux.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync
+ # dd if=gnulinux.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync
You should now be able to boot the installer from your USB drive.
