🗒️ A quick set of notes to help me recall the syntax for using dd command to write ISO file to USB thumb drive. I don't do this frequently enough to remember. 🤔

@wchgi09 Cool thanks for this very useul
One thing I would add in bold re target drive

Check. Check and Check again before writing.

I have a 500mb drive and a thumb drive that appear one above the other in the lsblk list, hence I make sure I check my syntax very carefully.

I need to make a post on the 10.8 Debian release later so will link to this to help people create their install media.

@zleap Thanks for the feed back Paul. I have added a caution at the top of the post and a warning right before the command itself.
