Using dd, the USB drive has the correct .iso for live/CD/DVD/USB. Checksums good for .iso.
Using dd, the 2.5gig is on the 16gig usb thumb drive.
I tried to boot from it, on my Debian 10 desktop 'puter, but, even though the BIOS sees the thumb device, nothing happens. Boot stalls and a flashing hyphen stays, top left of monitor.
I've read the following:
https://www.linux.com/training-tutorial ... n-techies/ but as it's from 2011, maybe out-of-date.
Then I tried: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/03/c ... -with.html, but there is no :ppa for mkusb in Debian (that's a pity), good writeup and recent.
Next, I read: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... ersistence
but I'm not so skilled as to distinguish it well, and would like to get on with this, rather then become the "go to" for live-usb.
Someone, Anyone, point me to a recent how-to or tutorial that used Debian Buster for live booting.
My goal is to live boot a windows 10 computer, dd the c: to an ssd, swap the hdd with the ssd and pretend it's as good as Linux (tee hee!)

Re: Create LiveUSB with xxx_cinnamon.iso
Dear Sir:
If You install Debian using the option to include 'all the available kernel drivers', then it becomes a "live" system, provided that You will also install non-free firmware -> then the system becomes fully portable.
Is this correct?
cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-10.4.0-amd64-cinnamon
Then, You can just rsync/cp/dd the system to a pendrive, and that's all
??? I need to rsync, then cp, then dd? or are you saying: use either rsync or cp or dd ???

Re: Create LiveUSB with xxx_cinnamon.iso
Yeah I've posted this, but after a while I've removed the post -> I have no time to support this topic.
But, sometimes crap happens - it happened that the original OP was Online while I've removed my post ...
So, this is the howto:
Basically, if Debian is installed with "all the available kernel drivers" it can work on any platform, but there's a limitation: Debian installed for EFI will only work as an EFI-bootable system, but it will fail on a classic BIOS (but since EFI BIOS-es are the most common today, this should be not a problem)
Anyway, if You have a working Debian system, You can just make a copy of the system, which should work out-of-the-box when booted from a pendrive under EFI BIOS.
