I have a memory stick here which is bootable, How does one make an image of the memory stick and save as an iso, With a cd I would normally use dd if=/dev/cdrom of=filename, The problem is I don't know how to find out what device my memory stick is using. This is what I have tried cat /proc/devices lsusb lsdev I have looked in dev under /dev/usb/ but don't see anything that resembles the memory stick. Could some one please help here!
A USB memory device, when inserted, is emulated as a SCSI disk under Linux. For example, if this is the first "SCSI" disk on your system it will be accessible as /dev/sda1. You can find out the actual device after you insert it by "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" as well as looking in your /var/log/messages. Note that the filesystem on a USB memory device is usually VFAT, not ISO9660. -Ti -- Ti Kan http://www.amb.org/ti Vorsprung durch Technik
