[proposal-manual] Section: Installation using USB flash drives instead of CD / Blu-ray discs
To: Debian Edu team,
Greeting.
A proposal for the manual. It's about "dd" "of" device path,
since "school teachers with IT knowledge" are potential readers.

Installation using USB flash drives instead of CD / Blu-ray discs
Current
-------
sudo dd if=debian-edu-amd64-XXX.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1024
Proposal
--------
Use fast USB stick such as MLC type especially for BD image,
since cheap ones are very slow on write operation.
lsblk # confirm the system state, BEFORE INSERTING USB STICK.
lsusb # confirm your USB stick.
lsblk # confirm your USB stick device path such like "/dev/sdX".
# With extreme care, especially for "of",
sudo dd if=debian-edu-amd64-XXX.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M
Regard.
