I had it formatted, for earlier use, as FAT 32. That may a good reason for not working. Will format as ext4 and try again.

Please read the previous posts. We've already tried.
After formatting the USB stick, are you copying the ISO to the first partition?
EDIT: Oh, I just noticed that's exactly what you're doing. That is where you're going wrong.

You do not need to format the stick, everything on it will be overwritten by ISO image, including the partition table and the filesystem.

Yes, only one partition. Guess I better read some more. Don't know exactly what I need to do as far as partitioning.

apt-get install linux-image-amd64
