1.) How do I figure out which /dev is a USB Flash Drive?
    a.) Use one of the following Linux commands:

     df, blkid, fdisk -l, lsblk


 2.) How do I format a USB Flash Drive with FAT32 file system on Debian 8?
     a.) Install dosfstools (utilities for making and checking MS-DOS FAT filesystems):
     
     # apt-get install dosfstools
     
     b.) Format the USB Flash Drive with FAT32 file system:
     
     # mkfs.vfat -n 'BackBox' -I /dev/sdc1
 	  
 	  
 3.) This is a quote from the BackBox wiki: "BackBox doesn't provide an hybrid ISO image yet (i.e. an image that can be directly copied to an USB device using for example dd utility), 
 even if this is being worked out. Meanwhile it's possible to use Isohybrid from the Syslinux Project to create it on your own."

     # apt-get install syslinux syslinux-utils

     # isohybrid backbox-4.4-i386.iso
     
     
 4.) Copy backbox-4.4-i386.iso to USB Flash Drive:

     # dd if=backbox-4.4-i386.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M; sync
