In the Debian live page, dd is offered as the way to copy the ISO file

good is that to someone who is running Windows at the time?
If I get a new computer, then nothing is installed. Without another
computer I need to use a live media to download a *NIX image and to burn
it. I'm not interested to install a Windows or any other proprietary OS,
to get Linux or another *NIX running.
I don't know the dd method to use a USB stick, but since dd is a common
command, it's usually available on live medias.
However, I recommend to install from a CD or DVD. Download the ISO, burn
it with your preferred application for what OS ever and then install
Linux.
