Mm. That doesn't deal with Macs,
Huh, I thought we had a Mac section. I can probably add one that just describes how to use some kind of Mac dd-alike.
No, I mean our default recommended install method should handle the Mac case. Right now we're recommending that users produce sticks that will then not interopreate correctly.
Yup, gotcha. Sounds like we just had a nice IRC chat where we all agreed on a good long-term direction, here.
In the short term I'm going to spend a couple hours fiddling with luc and the Wiki instructions; I'll try and twiddle it to make sure we provide good instructions for Mac folks ('use a dd-alike', basically).
So it turned into more of an all-day mission, but we made a couple of minor improvements to luc, and I extensively updated the USB instructions (again):

I wrote up easy 'direct write' methods for Windows and GNOME (I'll look at adding a generic 'Linux' one for other desktops tomorrow if I can find a widely-available GUI tool), made the page consistently promote 'direct write' methods as the most reliable and recommended unless you actually need non-destructive writes and data persistence and stuff, and just generally cleaned up a lot of of stuff. Let me know if you see anything wrong.
