Hé fabio,
* bs=8M tells dd to read/write in 8 megabyte chunks for better performance;
(the default is 512 bytes, which will be much slower)
* The sync is to make sure that all the writes are flushed out before the
command returns.
I will start by saying that I have no idea of why it's not working :-D but I
have an Asus 1015cx with Trisquel and it worked out of the box... the only
difference I see is that I probably used just sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso
of=/dev/sdX instead of sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX
I created the USB system using dd (as explained in
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-create-liveusb). No permanent storage
option there as far as I can see...
I have a Asus 1015E netbook. I have been able to use Debian and Ubuntu, with
the only problem that I have to use EFI.
Now, I would like to try Trisquel, but I ran into problems. I tried both the
mini and 1.6GB isos of Triskel 7.0, burnt into an USB. When I try to boot,
after selecting the
weird
can you boot any of the distros here:

just to check its not non-free software thats the problem
