To bump after 50 mins is considered rude, please be patient and wait for a answer.

If you are on a Linux machine do the follow as its suggests in that tutorial.

1. Plugin you USB stick, open a terminal and type: df -h this will help you find out the letter of your USB stick.  (it should be listed as media or similar.)
2. Right click and open the folder in terminal, this folder will have your Linux ISO inside 
   
   

Code:

32bit:
Terminal Command:
                        
sudo dd if=linux-lite-3.2-32bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M

64bit:
Terminal Command:
                        
sudo dd if=linux-lite-3.2-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M

Change the x in sdx to match the letter of your USB device. (example: sudo dd if=linux-lite-3.2-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdf1 bs=4M) f1 is the drive letter of the USB flash drive.



Its not the way I would go about doing it, but that's how that tutorial is telling you to do it.

Linux works by number

this is my flush drive its dev /sda1

your flash drive should be dev /sda then a number


now you have to cd into the directory

Code:

cd /home/linux/Downloads/

select enter

Code:

sudo dd if=linux-lite-3.2-64bit.iso of=/dev/sda1 bs=4M

or

Code:

sudo dd if=linux-lite-32.-32bit.iso of=/dev/sda1 bs=4M

select enter


the important thing to remember your flash drive be a difference number  2 3

/dev/sdb1 looks correct to me, its also mounted on media so must be your USB.

So will look like this:

Code:

sudo dd if=linux-lite-3.0-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M

[Compton]

yeah that is correct did it complete successfully
