Silly me, of course dd. What a rhyme. ;-)
Welcome :-) You can just use cat ISO > /dev/sdX or cp ISO /dev/sdX anything works :-) The dd command above is simply better adjusted. Normally copying a 4 GB file fills the kernel cache with it and can make the entire computer slow; the "oflag=direct" avoids this. And with "status=progress" we get some idea of the time remaining - here it took almost 19 minutes (3,5 MB/s). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
