How old is that live CD? If you install that system, it will three or four years out-of-date.

Current stable is Debian 7. Debian 5 (also called Lenny) is archived now and has not been supported for a few years.

I may be wrong but I think Debian 6 (also called Squeeze) was the first to be easily "burned" to a USB but it is now Oldstable.

It is nearly 2 years since anything has been done with it. Also please read this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Timeline and see where it says Debian Lenny hasn't been supported since February 2012. Then when you have done that go to this page http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/LiveCD and read where it says

The Xen LiveCD is now unmaintained, and slightly out-of-date.
I hope this helps.

Debian 5 is really not what you want to be using. Squeeze only has weeks left of support.

What you should be doing is getting Debian 7.

You can easily put the ISO on a stick and have it work fine using the "dd" command.
Code:
dd if=<file> of=<device> bs=4M; sync
should look something like this;
Code:
dd if=/media/Data/ISO/Debian/debian-7.2.0-i386-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdi bs=4M; sync
where sdi is the device designation of your stick. It is recommended to format the stick to some fat version format but I forget to do this about half the time.

You can have other partitions on the stick but the dd command must use the entire device for this to work so any other partition is put on later like on the 32gig stick the above image is on with a persistence partition (ext4) and a storage partition. Works great, takes a bit of time but not much considering the amount of data being copied and that I am using usb 2.

Works with any hybrid ISO. Used it with Manjaro, Mageia, Fedora and any number of Debian derived distros.

I do not think that it will work with Debian 5 because that is not a hybrid image. I say "I think" because I have not had Lenny or any Lenny respins on here since 09.

That is my understanding, I tried it years ago and it never worked but Squeeze does.

There were an awful lot of big changes in Squeeze.

The hybid image and the switch from aptitude to apt-get are probably the ones that affect the most users.

The hybrid image is simply great. I love it.

I prefer to use Jessie or Sid but 90% of my installs of either are done with a Wheezy netinstall image so that I can depend on the installer to be stable. Upgrade the base install which is very fast as it is tiny to what version I want and then finish the install with what I want on that system.

dd is faster than burning even ISOs that are the maximum size for DVDs. I really love that too.

If you talking about the command: dd
yeah, it is good but... seems take VERY LONG time, you think any ways to time the dd commnad?
like how long it takes for the dd command? for example by command: ps with some options?

You can see where a running dd process is up to with
Code:
kill -USR1 `pidof dd`

I still think dd command takes VERY LONG time, you think any ways to speed up the dd process like
assign most of the hardware resource to the dd process? so the machine only like focus on such job only?
