For Debian:
1- sudo apt-get install mtd-utils
(On some older Debian/Ubuntu builds, you may need to install
mtd-tools instead.)
crcimg is not packaged for Debian so you'll have to build it:
cd /tmp
wget -c -ndH
http://dev.laptop.org/~mstone/releases/SOURCES/crcimg-1.1.tar.bz2
<http://dev.laptop.org/%7Emstone/releases/SOURCES/crcimg-1.1.tar.bz2>
tar xvf crcimg-1.1.tar.bz2
sudo make -f Makefile.build install
2- wget -c -ndH
http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
3- sudo mv livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
<http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh>
/usr/bin
4- sudo /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr /tmp/boot.iso
/dev/sde
Assuming of course, your usb stick is /dev/sde
Be happy.
Have fun.
