[OSGeoLive] problem with bootable usb stick creation via dd

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi all,

I just tried making a live usb with the latest iso:
http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeolive-nightly-build256-amd64-fd262ec-master.iso
http://osprey.ucdavis.edu/downloads/osgeo/gisvm/gisvm/nightly/osgeolive-nightly-build256-amd64-fd262ec-master.iso

The process just worked fine with
sudo dd if=osgeolive-nightly-build256-amd64-fd262ec-master.iso of=/dev/sdb
bs=8M; sync

and I was able to boot the system:

Best,
Angelos
