It does. If someone else says "better use cp" -- they are equivalent. *BUT* first make sure your USB is not mounted. Those newfangled desktop environments will "helpfully" mount the file systen on your USB if there's one. Then it'll be a question of luck whether your dd or cp will work or not. So if you insert your stick and can "see" its files in your desktop environment... BE WARY. Unmount first. Ask here on how to do that. Cheers -- t
