I have the .iso file. From the instructions at https://www.slackwiki.com/Install_Slackware_Using_A_USB_Flash_Drive, I see that should us dd. To determine where the USB stick is located I plugged it in on my Ubuntu machine and ran mount.

/dev/sdc1 on /media/dick/LIVESLAK type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nojoliet,check=s,map=n,blocksize=2048,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmode=500,fmode=400,uhelper=udisks2)

I'll be replacing LIVESLAK with the other iso.

I read in the instructions that the USB stick should not be mounted at the time I run dd, so I umounted it. The instructions also specify that I use /dev/sdc rather than /dev/sdc1, so I ran:

dick@ENU-1:~$ sudo dd if=~/Desktop/slackware64-14.2-install-dvd.iso of=/dev/sdc
dd: failed to open '/dev/sdc': No medium found
dick@ENU-1:~$

What am I missing this time?
