I think Mark has made a fair point, but not in a fair way. He is
probably referring to
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/
which is not particularly nor exclusively aimed at Linux users. He (and
others) might wonder why there is substantial advice for users of
non-Linux OSs on writing an ISO image to a CD but nothing for writing to
a USB device.
