How to use DD
How to use dd to burn an iso img to a USB stick.
Given an iso image /path/to/image.iso and a device /dev/sdx, which is the mount point of the USB stick, the following command copies the iso image onto the usb stick:
sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync
In the above command replace /path/to/image.iso with the actual path of the iso image to be copied. And replace /dev/sdx with the actual mount point of the usb stick. You can find out the mount point by looking at the output of lsblk:
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 698,7G 0 disk |-sda1 8:1 0 690,7G 0 part / |-sda2 8:2 0 1K 0 part `-sda5 8:5 0 7,9G 0 part [SWAP] sdc 8:32 1 7,6G 0 disk `-sdc1 8:33 1 7,6G 0 part sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
In the above example, the mount point of a 8GB usb stick is /dev/sdc.
