put img in a usb with dd?

[frederic.triquet at gmail.com (Frederic Triquet)]

Hi,

I just discovered how easy it is now to build my own live iso.

I managed to run it with Vmware (mounting iso file as the cdrom)
But I don't see how to put it onto my usb stick.

I am using live-helper 1.0~a12-1 and the following commands:

# rm -rf debian-live
# make-live config -d etch -b usb-hdd --bootloader grub
# make-live build

I always get a binary.iso file and it always uses syslinux (not grub).
Am I doing something wrong (you were talking of .img files, I don't
get such ones) ?

I then put the iso data onto the usb stick :
# dd if=/tmp/debian-live/binary.iso of=/dev/sdc

but it won't boot.
I also tried (with no success) :
# parted /dev/sdc set 1 boot on

(I also tried to use /dev/sdc1 instead of /dev/sdc.)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Fred.
