Yes, let's do that as we're all three on tails-dev and nobody from
tails-testers answered.

I think we have enough. I'll phrase the instructions in a way that makes
it clear that the screenshot might vary a bit depending on the Mac
version. But I still think they are going to be important to clarify the
context (what screen are we talking about).

Ah! I like this better :)

Ok, that's easier for us then.

Yes, that's minor enough.

So now I'm convinced that I want to use your screenshots. Could you do a
last thing for me? Could you update both the one for DVD and the one for
USB and have the Tails DVD and Tails USB selected (the arrow below the
Tails one)?

Many thanks! I really hate dealing with Mac.
