I downloaded a knoppix-8.6 .iso, checked the sha256sum, and tried to put it
on an 8G USB flash drive using dd. I messed up badly. The drive shows
nonsense files and won't allow root to delete the files or directories.
The command I used was dd 'if=/home/rshepard/KNOPPIX_V8.6-2019-08-08-EN.iso
of=/dev/sdd1'.
Two questions:
1) How best to reformat /dev/sdd1/ to it's vfat state?
2) What dd command line will correctly copy the .iso to the flash drive?
Looks like you copied the iso to a partition on the flash drive. With
knoppix 8.6 you should copy/dd the iso to the raw drive. i.e. /dev/sdd
Be absolutely certain that you have the correct device!
