# E-scripts on pen drives.
#
# Note 1: use the eev command (defined in eev.el) and the
# ee alias (in my .zshrc) to execute parts of this file.
# Executing this file as a whole makes no sense.
# An introduction to eev can be found here:
#
# (find-eev-quick-intro)
# http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-eev-quick-intro.html
#
# Note 2: be VERY careful and make sure you understand what
# you're doing.
#
# Note 3: If you use a shell other than zsh things like |&
# and the for loops may not work.
#
# Note 4: I always run as root.
#
# Note 5: some parts are too old and don't work anymore. Some
# never worked.
#
# Note 6: the definitions for the find-xxxfile commands are on my
# .emacs.
#
# Note 7: if you see a strange command check my .zshrc -- it may
# be defined there as a function or an alias.
#
# Note 8: the sections without dates are always older than the
# sections with dates.

Several of the Debian and Debian Live images, notably all i386, amd64
and arm64 images, are created using the isohybrid technology, which
means that they may be used in two different ways:
* They may be written to CD/DVD/BD and used as normal for CD/DVD/BD
booting.
* They may be written to USB flash drives, bootable directly from
the BIOS / EFI firmware of most PCs.
On a Linux machine, simply use the cp command, to copy an image to a
USB flash drive:
cp <file> <device>
Alternatively you can also use dd:
dd if=<file> of=<device> bs=4M; sync
