- Update download URLs - Replace "USB stick"/"USB Drive" with "USB flash drive" as that seem more correct https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive https://elementary.io/docs/installation#choose-operating-system - Don't mention CD as easiest option anymore, as all modern systems should be able to boot from USB, but many don't have a CD drive. Burning CDs is also usually wasteful as you can't burn them again. - Remove link to NixOS Wiki (Making_the_installation_media) as it is not needed - Add Etcher and USBImager as graphical tools to create install drive - Make dd command consistent and use block size of 4 MB for faster flashing - More consistent text - Add instructions for "Booting from the install medium" Inspired by https://github.com/elementary/website/blob/9a91b0f4956b059db02122fbc738c4c067e033a7/docs/installation.md#booting-from-the-install-drive-booting-from-the-installation-medium-clear-float-2 - Add instructions for "Graphical Installation" - Restructure headings and anchors for "Manual Installation" - Adding legacy anchors for "Manual Installation" to not break links (cherry picked from commit f701bd5) Co-authored-by: j-k <dev@j-k.io> Co-authored-by: Sandro <sandro.jaeckel@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Robert Schütz <github@dotlambda.de> Co-authored-by: Jörg Thalheim <Mic92@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Thiago Kenji Okada <thiagokokada@gmail.com>
