Hardlink on wheezy by default for usb-stick?
May somebody can give me a hint. I am still using my old squeeze and it works the way I want. But my recent post about changing the owners rights, e.g. 777 or 755 anyway, it could be 644 as well. While configuring a new pc, just by chance I discovered how to enter the BIOS. And here it comes. I want to install from an usb-stick the debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso.
Allright, there should be no obstacle so far. But this usb-stick was formatted in ext4 on another debian 7.8 machine and this very usb-stick now is refusing me as root on squeeze to unpack even in the terminal the package. No matter if I try chmod, chown 644 -d name-of-the-file. I don't have permission to do so. That would mean for my humble understanding that this device has won a hardlink to the other machine, I truly don't have a clue. Is there someone out there who could give me a hint. Thanks a lot in advance, I keep gouging my way through this. Maybe I am wrong, and there is no hardlink, but only root can act as rwx, the rest is set to r.

Code:
debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso is not RAR archive

this is what I get, after typing as root.

Code:
root@rechenknecht2:/media/usb0# unrar e debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso
root@rechenknecht2:/media/usb0# unrar l debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso
root@rechenknecht2:/media/usb0# unrar y debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso

but it is such a package to be unpacked, I did it before, earlier version of wheezy, and where I am doing wrong?

maybe something like this:

Code:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 debian-7.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso /media/usb0/

yep, luky strike...it worked.



but after solving this, on rebooting after the changes of the BIOS, there comes up, the real grewsome two aspects.
changes to the American Megatrends Bios version 2.15.1236 in the boot sequence are not saved, even clicking so. I switches back to EFI or UEFI and furhtermore it tells me that there is no BIOS fils in this usb key. Where the hack do I slam in to that usb key any bios file. After rebooting the screen tells me about grub rescue. So the BIOS itself saves the BIOS to the storage device with a strange name, that means...never use a large usb-device for that, unless you have to much of them. But grub rescue> after rebooting continues. So any hints to that. Thanks in advance!!!
