Burning ISO

The command-line utility dd for Linux can be used to burn an ISO image to a USB device:

sudo dd if={ISO-path} of={USB-device-name} bs=4M status=progress && sync

• {usb-device-name} is usually something like /dev/sdb.
• bs=4M sets the block size to 4 megabytes, which can speed up the writing progress significantly.
• status=progress displays progress information while dd is executing.
• The trailing sync command ensures that all data is written to the USB before the command exits.
