[Bug 1879063] [NEW] Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting should not mention "cp"

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In the AMD64 docs, [4.3. Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick
Booting](https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-
guide/amd64/ch04s03.html) prominently lists this command as a way of
writing the image to a USB stick: "# cp debian.iso /dev/sdX".  The
result was something that my Dell Inspiron 7577 did not recognize as a
UEFI boot device.

I fell back to creating the USB installer on Windows, using the advice
in https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

I don't know what a successful technique for creating a USB installer
using Linux is, but I do know that the "cp" method given in this
documentation page is not it.
