Hi all.

From:

 http://www.us.debian.org/CD/netinst/

I downloaded the file debian-7.8.0-i386-netinst.iso and copied it onto a
pendrive with:

 $ dd if=debian-7.8.0-i386-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M; sync

, but then can't boot from it even though the BIOS is - apparently - configured
so to do that.  Why?

Thanks for any help,

Rodolfo
