Does anybody nowadays actually burn CDs or DVDs?
Yes..... The BIOS on many of the machines I encounter don't support booting from USB.
How old are they?
Assuming they are very old, would it not be more rational for the documentation to assume that the user was at a reasonably new machine, and add a section or appendix to deal with the case of an ancient BIOS?
In my view, if 90% of users are going to use option A, then 90% of the user documentation should deal with that case. Treating all options equally is a recipe for verbosity.
