But I am not the only one who had trouble with this, and if you read more of the forum, you would probably know this.
For example:
https://forum.backbox.org/general-support/cant-install-backbox-4-3-on-a-usb-stick-gives-loop0-error/
And:
https://forum.backbox.org/howtos/build-bootable-installation-usb-with-dd/
But you are correct about my level of technical expertise. I have no formal training in computer science whatsoever. I have learned everything I know from doing things and searching posts on forums when what I tried to do did not work.
But I am a psychologist, and another thing I have learned from all the forum reading that I have done is that there are basically 2 types of people when it comes to posting on forums.
One type genuinely wants to be helpful and puts a significant amount of effort into that. The other type is not particularly focused on helping people with problems, but rather is focused on making themselves feel good and overcoming their low self-esteem by talking down to others.
Often, especially when irritated, this second type spouts inaccurate information, like saying this problem has not happened to anyone else when a simple search shows otherwise. Sometimes this second type of person becomes a moderator and uses their power to intimidate others.
In a case like this, the effectiveness of the forum suffers and some people begin to lose interest in participating. I sincerely hope that does not happen here.
first of all I don't like shrinks

second, use your psychologist expertise and read between the sentences, not that just the information you are interested into it. I said it is a basic exercise and we are not here to raise primary school students, and your issue is not related to backbox but to the lack of knowledge in setting it up.
So, coming to issue about the power and abusing of power etc. I think you have psychological issues on your own. This is a simple community and nobody exercise any power here or abuses using the position it has. Perhaps they haven't thought you during your studies what is a community looks like, of course, why would they...
Let me spend a few words to introduce you what exactly a community made of. It is made of group of people who shares freely their idea and putting together their expertise to create something useful and not only for themselves but for the entire collectivity. And they are doing this based on volunteering activity with a free spirit. There is no space for shrinks in such environment because it is based on free spirit and the free spirits doesn't need or like the shrinks.
We do this for free, nobody pay us to do this and I am not sure with what entitlement you are here to claim what you are after. Have some reading here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software in order to understand what is a free community in first place.
Another proof of concept that nobody exercises any power here is, that you are still here, on this forum, able to talk and post your thoughts by given the right to reply.
According to our Disclaimer, here if you haven't read yet:
https://forum.backbox.org/announcements/general-forum-conditions/we actually are entitled to wipe your post because it does not comply with the rule where we require the basic knowledge on Linux systems which appears you don't have.
But because we are free spirits and luckily we like to live in democracy, we let you post and do some exception.
And I think you missed this part of my previous post:
"said that, RTFM for such easy tasks and come back when you have some proper question."
RTFM=read the fucking manual.
You are always and still welcome to this community but pls, only appropriate and reasonable questions.
We will try to help wherever we can.
Good luck!
