Bug#622813: [live-manual] "4.3 Using an ISO hybrid live image" assumes ISO image is named "binary-hybrid.iso"

[Filipus Klutiero <chealer@gmail.com>]

Package: live-manual
Severity: minor

Section 4.3 assumes in subsections Burning an ISO image to a physical medium and Copying an ISO hybrid image to a USB stick that ISO images are named binary-hybrid.iso. It would clarify to use a variable name or indicate that this is just an example, as prebuilt images are not named that way (for example, debian-live-6.0.1-i386-standard.iso).

4.3.1 Burning an ISO image to a physical medium

178

Burning an ISO image is easy:

179

   # apt-get install wodim

   $ wodim binary-hybrid.iso

180

4.3.2 Copying an ISO hybrid image to a USB stick

181

ISO images prepared with the isohybrid command, like the images produced by the default iso-hybrid binary image type, can be simply copied to a USB stick with the dd program or an equivalent. Plug in a USB stick with a size larger than that of binary-hybrid.iso and determine which device it is, which we hereafter refer to as ${USBSTICK}. This is the device file of your key, such as /dev/sdb, not a partition, such as /dev/sdb1! You can find the right device name by looking in dmesg's output after plugging in the stick, or better yet, ls -l /dev/disk/by-id.

182

Once you are certain you have the correct device name, use the dd command to copy the image to the stick. This will definitely overwrite any previous contents on your stick!

183

   $ dd if=binary-hybrid.iso of=${USBSTICK}
