Hi Adam,
The support for Tails on Mac is still a bit rough on the edge but I'm
glad to receive possible feedback like yours!
I know that the structure of the installation documentation can be
confusing sometimes but I think that the scenario that you describe is
already explained in our documentation.
The intention of the page
"
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/installation/" is to make it
clear to people that the easiest way of installing Tails (on any
computer) is to start from DVD and then clone.
The pages on "manually installing", including the one about Mac, are
provided as workaround for people who can't burn a DVD.
But maybe this was not so clear to you. If so, I'd be very interested in
understanding why. So that we can further improve our documentation.
What would you change or add to make it easier for Mac users like you?
