+
+				Check lsblk to confirm which drive it is:<br/>
+				<b>$ lsblk</b>
+			</p>
+
+			<p>
+				Check that it wasn't automatically mounted. If it was, unmount it. For example:<br/>
+				<b>$ sudo umount /dev/sdX*</b><br/>
+				<b># umount /dev/sdX*</b>
+			</p>
+
+			<p>
+				dmesg told you what device it is. Overwrite the drive, writing your distro ISO to it with dd. For example:<br/>
+				<b>$ sudo dd if=install60.fs of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync</b><br/>
+				<b># dd if=install60.fs of=/dev/sdX bs=8M; sync</b>
 			</p>

+				You should now be able to boot the installer from your USB drive. Continue reading, for
+				information about how to do that.
