IIRC that was the "short read" issue, right?
No, not that one. The starting point was some new user asking for help on the forums about how to create the usb stick, using another Linux distro (thus, no Bugzillas here). The dd command failed, writeimage also failed, unet??? also failed. Googling or asking elsewhere, it was advised to use a plain "cp" or "cat" to create the image, and this finally worked. Some other people corroborated that it worked. Then I started a thread on the mail list asking how was it possible that "cp" worked. It was a long thread, which concluded, IIRC, that "cp" was also a valid command to use in order to create the image. We talked about adding this new information to the wiki, and I finally added it, and Rajko validated it. Some other incorrect advice was removed. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
