Bug#1118254: installation-guide-amd64: Problem on "debian.org" DebianInstaller USBCreateMedia web page

[Thomas Kragh <thomas.kragh@math.uu.se>]

Package: installation-guide-amd64
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: thomas.kragh@math.uu.se

Dear Maintainer,

On the web page https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/CreateUSBMedia it is said that one can copy the debian.iso file directly to the media using:

sudo cp debian.iso "$TARGET_DEVICE"

However, "cp" reports the error:"cp: cannot create regular file '/dev/sdb': No medium found"

I searched around a bit and found that one should use the command "dd" instead.

However, it seems like you should change this to a working solution.

Regards,
Thomas
