Package: www.debian.org Severity: normal Hi!
In #775689 and #775814, there has been discussion about the need to clarify for users that unetbootin is a poor choice of utility for copying an installer image onto a USB stick. In the CD/faq [1], "How do I write a CD image to a USB flash drive?" suggests that the user could use win32diskimager if not yet running a suitable GNU/Linux distribution. It would be good to add to that paragraph a note that unetbootin is best avoided for this task. Something like: The unetbootin utility is not suited to this task. would be sufficient. cheers Stuart [1] https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/ -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (550, 'testing-updates'), (550, 'testing'), (60, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
