Lawrence, for installing based on the information above try:
dd if=./Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25_Alpha-2.iso of=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress
for your understanding... the "./" in front of the filename notes your location to the system as "in my current directory" but irregardless the illegal operand came from the space between the "=" and the "F" in your second attempt. The first failure of running out of space is because dd was directed to a partition sda1. Also, be sure this is your usb drive, my experience is that sda is usually the hard drive. Broken down sda1 is: "sd"=serial device,"a" [or b,c,d,e,f, etc] is the devices in sequence as discovered, "1" [or 2,3,4, etc] are the partitions on the device. With that try the following command WITHOUT the usb plugged in:
ls /dev/sd*
which should give you something like:
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3
Then re-run the same command WITH the usb plugged in which should give you something like:
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1
This last letter to appear is the one you want and without the number. So be REAL sure you have your usb device letter correct and:
dd if=./Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25_Alpha-2.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M status=progress
will work.
If you want to easily understand the command line I suggest you go through this quick course:
It is a great primer for understanding all we are talking about and can be done in about an evening.
Caution: "dd" is an aggressive program so be sure of the variables you writing to in the "of=" parts of the command. Also, the "status=progress" part is optional, lets you see your progress of the command.
