Sudo dd if=~/Desktop/linuxmint.iso of=/dev/sdx oflag=direct bs=1048576 #Startup disk creator ubuntu terminal install# Where '~/Desktop/linuxmint.iso' is the name and location of your downloaded image (located at the desktop in this example) and '/dev/sdx' is the target USB drive. If your system doesn't support 'oflag=direct', you can just leave it out as it is simply intended to speed up the process a bit. Remember, don't include an integer for the USB drive, e.g. When the USB has been properly created by 'dd', there should be an output similar to this: '/dev/sdx1', as it would refer to the existing partition on that drive and not the drive itself. #Startup disk creator ubuntu terminal install#.#Startup disk creator ubuntu terminal how to#.
