Re: [SOLVED]USB install failing, detect and mount the cd-rom failed

I use this method:

sudo -i
cat bl.iso > /dev/sdX
sync
exit

Replace X with the letter assigned to the USB stick

(plug in the drive and run `dmesg|tail` )

*do not* use a partition number.

@ HoaS   Cheers ,

with a bit of directory navigation to my  Hydrogen-64.ISO

and a few tweaks with gparted

created my first  working bootable  hybrid image usb ,(1G)

using my BunsenLabs install .
(No more torturing my poor CD/DVD writer )
Like safer  ' dmesg |tail '... just USB , no Hard-disks to confuse things !

Re: [SOLVED]USB install failing, detect and mount the cd-rom failed

Success.. that is I tried the USB installer Etcher which also runs in Linux.
Now the installer mounts the 'CD' and continues the installation.

This is the solution. Thank you!
