You’ve got a point, thanks. Did as you suggested.
Now let’s just hope that none of those “less-experienced users” that blindly copy and paste commands see the original, still unchanged command you quoted and blindly copy and paste this from your post … 
Good point; I have simply deleted my post, as it’s no longer necessary 
.
Now just wait for the first topic asking for help for the following error:
error: device not found: /dev/sdX
Can new users be awarded this?
Sure, but they got to work hard for it!
I’m pretty sure I would have been allegiable for a few of those a few years (months/days) back… 
I know you’re blowing off some steam. 
Thanks!
Yeah, but at least it’s better to get an error message than nuking their installation .
I’m surprised it took that long for a bloat comment from you.
dear friends
wellyears ago i have created my iso - install media with the K3b - i burned a ISO on a DVD
well at the moment i have a notebook - without a CD drive.
can i create a ISO on a stick with the following process
sudo fdisk -l # (usb-CHECK at the very beginning. )
umount /dev/sdb1* # (first of all we need the USB-Stick unmoute, in order to start afterwards)
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 # formate the Stick .. and then we go to the dd - command ...
sudo dd bs=4M if=~/Downloads/_mein_linux.iso of=/dev/xyz status=progress oflag=sync
i think i can do like so!? Look forward to any and all tipps
@otrott, this thread is ancient. This thread is 3 years old. 'Necro-bumbing" is discouraged.
Your best option is to start a new thread and link to this one if you feel it’s necessary.
I think we should close this one?
