Thanks for your feedback on our documentation.
I think that the information you were looking for was already in our
download page, but I tried to improve on that a bit, since apparently
that didn't work for you.
1. Section 2 "Download page" already says: "You will download Tails in
the form of an ISO image: a single file that you will later burn on a
DVD or install onto a USB stick or SD card.". So I added an info styling
to make it a bit more visible:
https://tails.boum.org/download/#index2h1
What do you think? Did you see that sentence the first time? Does it
clarify your concern?
- The last sentence at the bottom of the page was saying: "Read the
"First steps with Tails" section of our documentation." which has all
the installation information that you seems to have missed. So I make
that part more visible by adding a "Installation" title and making that
last sentence more explicit. See:
https://tails.boum.org/download/#index5h1
What do you think?

I'm glad you made it to install Tails onto a USB stick!

They will be much safer on the Internet with Tails than with Windows XP
for sure!
