Hello,

It would be useful to be able to directly write the image to a USB
stick, something like

jigdo-lite --image=/dev/sdb --force http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/9.3.0/amd64/jigdo-cd/debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.jigdo

which would need to add the --image option to jigdo-lite, and make
jigdo-file be fine with a device output (ATM it complains that the
destionation already exists, even with --force).

Which other tools? The point here is to avoid having to store the image
in a filesystem before putting it on a stick. If jigdo doesn't support
it, I don't see how another tool could make it happen.

The only alternative I see is to use wget -O /dev/sdb, but then we don't
get jigdo support (use of local debian archive or ISO CDs), which is not
recommended by Debian since it prevents a lot of optimizations.

Really, I don't see how to achieve the same (use of local debian archive
etc.) without stuffing the support in jigdo itself.

Hi Samuel,

Sorry, I think this is something best done with other tools.
