Hello Tailless,

I installed a new version of Tails yesterday via a Mac OS X. I have a few improvements for the installation guide. But first: You peeps did an amazing job in making it easier to install Tails. I remember the struggle I had with it years ago. It is very smooth now. I believe you are on the right track. Thank you!

Suggestions for improvements:

__ In step 1/7 The two option are not clear because the firefox Add-on has a much bigger button than the Download via bit torrent option. So I got confused about the options. Perhaps both in a button or describing the option in the manual would help.


__ In step 2/7-7 The instruction is given without [sudo] in the beginning. Sudo is later added in case permission is denied. I think you can skip the step that commits [sudo] because Mac OS X users that follow this guide step by step are usually not permanent sudo.

So it would look like this:
sudo dd if=[tails.iso] of=[device] bs=16m && sync
You should get something like this:

sudo dd if=/Users/me/tails-i386-1.3.iso of=/dev/rdisk9 bs=16m && sync
Type in your password. Wait. The installation is complete once the command prompt ($) reappeared.

That was it. Thank you again.
