trying Making to make a bootable USB stick. using Debian 9
by Isaac Shields from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58HHK)
I am trying to make a bootable usb with Debian 10.5 on the USB stick. I am using Debian 9.12 on my computer and it is not working. Are you able to help me please. Below is what I typed into terminal and what has happened
root@ike:~# *cat /etc/debian_version
9.12
therefore I am using Debian 9.12
root@ike:/home/ike/Debian105# ls
debian-live-10.5.0-amd64-gnome.iso *debian-live-10.5.0-amd64-gnome.iso.part *f.txt
therefore the program I want to put on the USB is in directly root@ike:/home/ike/Debian105#
root@ike:/home/ike/Debian105# lsblk

Therefore USB is sdf
