Re: Install failed - USB flash to USB drive [SOLVED]



I successfully installed this:

debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso

to a USB flash in Windows with this:

dd bs=1M if=debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-lxde-desktop.iso od=e:

(where 'e:' is the USB flash's Windows device letter - note that the 'od=' switch is not documented in command-line help.)

Then I booted from the USB flash and installed Debian + LXDE desktop to a USB drive.

(The GRUB bootloader install failed toward the end of the installation.)

The problem is in the GUI installer. To do the installation successfully, use the text-based installer.

Thanks all,
Mark.
