[...] You reported what you tried to do, but not: - how you tried to do it (command line, drag'ndrop, ???), - and what was the result (error message!), so it would need a lot of guesswork to help.
I used Dolphin to copy from Downloads to USB stick KINGSTON DT50 Then you are doing it wrong, without reading the instructions. You do NOT copy the ISO file to the stick as a file. You copy it to the RAW device.
The ISO image is an image of an entire filesystem, already formatted.
<https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick> Why are you assuming that he wants to create live USB stick? Perhaps all he wants to do is to simply copy the file to the stick, no? Because he replied to Knurpht «I was following your advise to go USB, and this advise I will folow also'», which is a reference to previous

Nope, the OP did not "talk" to Knupht at the time. Here is the sequence of posts including your reply to the OP :-):

It cuts at that line removing the rest below. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
