Here, have some DD questions.
I'm using sudo dd bs=4M if=antergos.iso of=/dev/sdb status=progress&&sync to put a Sonar iso on, and i works fine. problem is....I boot off the USB drive, it goes into Solus (which is what's on my desktop) regardless of if I pick to boot from the HDD or the USB stick
2. I have another memory stick that has a 982mb main partition, sdb, sdc is 2.1mb and this is where it gets interesting. I want to use the 982mb partition to store Adriene Knoppix on as a rescue disk....but....no matter what I try I always, without fail get an invalid partition table error. I've tried finding ways to delete dev/sdc, i've put tables on both, I've even restored the USB to how it was when I got it, and.....nothing works. I can write things to the USB stick once the machine's turned on...I can even write an ISO with DD, but.....no matter what, and this is the odd thing.....I got the HD set to boot first into Solus here, I insert the USB stick in this question, the system tries to always boot from the stick first
3. I've heard differing opinions on this, but...If I partition my HDD some more can I store all my ISO files in a seperate partition and boot them from the HDD to install on a seperate HDD? I've heard mixed reports about this for various reasons, some say it won't work, others say it's distro specific, others are saying it's ISO specific and so on
Lastly.....what exatly is the difference between DD and CP cmmands anyhow? I always use DD for putting ISO on USB drives, since it's what I'm used to but I got told CP is more reliable, any truth to that or stick with DD and copying it over via that?
@Ubuntu 17.10 It's an interim release and it's the newest release. Heard mixed things about i there
Also, I'm curious, I got FF on my Solus Budgie (great desktop environment btw) desktop, but Firefox lags like a horse, so.....are there any lightweight browsers I can import my FF profile into and keep up with my saved logins and suh?
