Dumping *.img to USB flash drive with /bin/dd
I'm currently using Ubuntu, but I'd like to give Arch Linux a try.
Their Wiki gives the following command for dumping an *.img file to a USB stick: Code:
dd if=archlinux-2008.06-[core_or_ftp]-i686.img of=/dev/sdx Does that mean that if I do this, I can't use the USB stick for anything else? |

Great. I was afraid the command would brick the USB stick. Thanks!

By this "if=archlinux-2008.06-[core_or_ftp]-i686.img" they may mean if=archlinux-2008.06-core-i686.img or if=archlinux2008.06-ftp-i686.img depending on which image you want on the usb pendrive. You probably already know this from the file that you have.
