Re: installation manual for USB stick is outdated

[Pedro Larroy <pedro.larroy.lists@gmail.com>]

Hi

I just did cat .iso > /dev/sde

I used:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-amd64-CD-1.iso

and

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.1a/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a-amd64-netinst.iso


My usb stick seems vanilla mas storage device.

Should I try with a different one?
I observed that the scsi disk is not detected even after modprobing
usb-storage inside the debian installer shell.

Pedro.
