<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">NMLGugers, I have shifted to the commandline for this, though I will propagate Ubuntu versions with the supplied GUI application. My most recent trial of other OS's was to make some MX usb's thus:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"> sudo dd bs=4M if=MX-19.x_x64_copy.iso of=/dev/sdb</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">which is sudo dd bs=4M if=TheISOofChoice of=/dev/YourUsb; run this from whichever folder the File.iso resides in.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I let the ISO file reside in "Downloads" and use the terminal to navigate there and proceed with 'dd' and use 'sudo' privileges as the access to the /dev/sdb requires root privileges. It takes a bit of practice and patience. Practice to follow a preferred variation of the 'dd' syntax and patience to let the process finish - it may take 8-10 minutes for it to complete while it seems to hang. 'top' may indicate a "D" for uninterruptible sleep, but it will finish out, just wait. I encourage everybody to have a method to create install usb's and share them with friends. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">By the way, MX was recommended by the ABQLUG and is an interesting variant GnuLinux. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Practice on this is worth the effort and dd is always in your GnuLinux system.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Thank you, Ted P<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Sep 29, 2020 at 12:26 PM Mark Galassi <<a href="mailto:mark@galassi.org">mark@galassi.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>
