Comparing the output in step 2, we see that /dev/sdc is a new device which was displayed in step 4 but not in step 2. In this particular case, /dev/sdc is the device name we are interested in as the size matches the size of the compact flash device we inserted into the writer. Make a note of your device name as it will be required to write the disk image to the compact flash in the next section. We will refer to the noted device as /dev/devicenamenoted throughout the rest of this article.
