Linux USB disk, so they'd install their first Linux box.<br>
<br>
Debian (and FreeBSD) recommend win32diskimager. Arch suggested a few<br>
other tools, of which I tried Rufus 3.19 and "dd for windows". The<br>
first and third didn't work at all; the second worked once but not again<br>
on the same image.<br>
<br>
Rather than try a fourth tool, I went ahead and created the bootable USB<br>
disk for my friend myself using good old dd(8) on one of my existing<br>
Linux machines.<br>
<br>
Now I wonder how a random Windows user is supposed to bootstrap<br>
themselves a bootable Linux USB disk. Perhaps my experience is not<br>
representative.<br>
