Description

The documentation pages ‘Manual installation using Linux’ and ‘Manual installation using Mac’ is lacking a warning to the user that they should properly eject their drive. This could mean that some users will simply pull their drive out when dd completes and have a non-functional live USB.

another solution could be to add a ‘sync’ at the end of the command line proposed

Is anyone against adding “sync” after “dd”? Otherwise that’s an easy task.
