I did not pay enough attention to the preamble, which warns of the danger to spoil a hard disk. (The warning sign ought to be larger with blinking lights.) But i still lack a good reason to link from XorrisoDdTarget to DebianInstaller/CreateUSBMedia.

It proposes what i deem too dangerous for the general public. The FAQ https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/ indeed offers extra information. I will think about how to point to it and especially to https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#verify which could put more emphasis on verification of USB sticks, especially in its title "How can I verify the downloaded ISO images and written optical media?" I'll think about a proposal which i can submit to debian-cd mailing list. Maybe i should also mention how to make use of the file /md5sum.txt in the ISOs. Have a nice day :) Thomas
