Actually, for the install55.fs image, you want to specify a block size, (or wait ages.) dd if=install55.fs of=/dev/rsd2c bs=1m It's something like 20x faster to specify a block size on some of mine. The 512 byte default block size is so small, it must cause the USB key to re-write the same physical block multiple times. These devices have underlying blocks of 4K and larger.
