Create a bootable USB stick on Linux
-
Download Witsbits ISO image (as described in the previous step) and save it to your hard drive.
-
Insert an USB stick with at least 1GB of space.
-
Identify the device name of your USB stick. In a terminal, execute:
dmesg | tail -n 20
Your terminal will print a bunch of information, you should find a row similar to:
[621674.412655] sd 9:0:0:0: [sdX] 7821312 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.72 GiB)
Look for three letters in brackets (sdXin this example), that's the device name of your USB stick.
Please be careful when you identify the device name, any data on the device will be completely overwritten in the next steps.
-
Unmount the USB stick. In a terminal, execute (replacesdXwith the device name of your USB stick):
sudo umount /dev/sdX
Note: This step is important, it disables the write buffer so the USB stick can be safely unplugged after you have completed the next step.
-
Finally, write the ISO image to the USB stick. In a terminal, execute (replacesdXwith the device name of your USB stick):
sudo dd if=/path/to/witsbits_worker_os.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Wait for this step to finish, it takes 1-3 minutes, and then unplug the USB stick.
