If only there was a method to create an ISO disk image without the free space!

@Yuri

There is nothing to fix, the command is correct. If and of are command line options for the dd command, kindly read the manpage of the dd command.

In this case, we are not creating a bootable USB drive, but creating an ISO image from a bootable drive already created.

@j

I ask you to kindly read the dd man page to understand the meaning of if and of in the command, if what is explained in the article is not enough:

$ man dd

Thanks!
