I have an USB key and I would like to know how I could `burn' a .iso
image on it. I remember some weird procedure using dd, but I'm not sure,
and I can't find the tutorial. Evidently, assuming respective BIOS
capability, the USB key should be bootable.
Thanks.

Hi Mauri
There are some tutorials on internet. Our BIOS must support the boot from
USB, but how you can burn the ISO on USB you can check this or other link:

You don't say "WHY" you want to burn an .iso file onto a usb stick.
The debian installer recognises the .iso file and so if you are making a
debian install usb you set it up on a standard VFAT formated memory
stick (mostly the ones you buy are already formated like that) and just
copy the .iso image on to it.
If you are NOT doing that, it is possible to get at the raw files by (on
your hard drive) mounting the .iso image using the loop device using a
command something like
mount -o loop myisofile.iso /mnt
and then the contents of the file will be available in the /mnt
directory (as the directory hierarchy in the .iso image.
You just copy them to the usb stick.
If this iso image contains a kernel etc
then take a look at syslinux.
This enables you to boot a kernel from the vfat filesystem.
EIther boot a kernel image and its initrd from the installer (the initrd
image kicks the install process off), or in the second case boot the
image you find on the .iso filesystem

It always helps to provide some information about the goal you want to
achieve ...
If you are trying to install Debian by booting from USB you can find
information about that in the install guide. [1] Just follow "The easy
way" and it should work. The files mentioned in that guide can be
retrieved at [2] or [3] if you need kmuto (i.e. stable ones with newer
kernels) images. Finding weekly/daily-builds is left as an excercise for
the reader
If you actually want to do something else either follow some of the
advice already given in this thread or explain what you are trying to
achieve.

Thanks. I should have mentioned that it was to install Debian. I found
what I wanted thanks to your links and the previous ones. Sorry for the
inconvenient, once again.

You don't say "WHY" you want to burn an .iso file onto a usb stick.
Live running, mainly. I have a System Rescue installation on one, and
it's also useful to be able run something like Knoppix or Ubuntu to help
work out how to drive some piece of hardware. I have a recent Knoppix
DVD in my toolbox, along with other useful discs, but a USB key fits in
the pocket.
Hence most of the distributions with Live variants, such as Knoppix and
Ubuntu, offer advice and utilities on their websites for burning to USB.
