I just bought the Id USB kit and downloaded the .zip folder. What is the procedure to create a bootable usb?
Thanks,
Easiest and safest method:
Unzip the image then on a windows PC use rufus to write it to a USB stick >= 1GB
https://rufus.akeo.ie/More complex for linux gurus:
On a linux box you can just use dd. Be
VERY careful to make sure you are writing to the USB stick and not your system or other drive!!!
you can do
dmesg
from a prompt after installing your usb stick to see its device name:
[12691972.046888] usb-storage 1-7:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[12691972.047021] scsi28 : usb-storage 1-7:1.0
[12691973.044924] scsi 28:0:0:0: Direct-Access PMAP PQ: 0 ANSI: 6
[12691973.045052] sd 28:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0

[12691973.453085] sd 28:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
[12691973.456781] sdc: sdc1
[12691973.459578] sd 28:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
In this case my device is /dev/sdc. Note the fact that it's only 8 gigs and is removable to help identify the usb stick.
Use your device name in place of sdc below.
If it gets automounted, unmount it before proceeding.
I would then do:
sudo dd if=userid2build6.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=32k conv=sync
it will take a minute or so
when done
sudo eject /dev/sdc
And you are ready to use it to create your Id!
