Nicholas <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> Got today's .img Tried following the wiki to the letter. I am almost positive I am doing something wrong here :) I do sudo umount /dev/sdd I do sudo dd bs=4M if=quantal-desktop-armhf+omap4.img of=/dev/sdd ; sudo sync It looks like it's doing something - terminal tells me it's done something. If I try to just boot the image on the card without worrying about installing it - left hand board led lights up only. File manager tells me there is exactly nothing on the card. Gparted tells me that there now no partitions on the card. Now - what I am not sure of is whether I have other bugs on this 12.10 system I run causing all this lol <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> Elfy, what's 'sudo fdisk l' show.? /dev/sdd is your usb disk right? :-) And yes, after your run the dd command, the usb disk should have partitions on it and files..one is a boot partititon, athe other contains the installer and files.
