readme: add disclaimer about using other tools instead of dd #99

Closed energizerbee closed 6 months ago

energizerbee commented 1 year ago

Hello, recently after trying my hand in installing i found that the ISO doesn't work when flashed with etcher (and most likely other tools) not sure why but adding a disclaimer could save a user from wasting their time trying to "cut corners" and using etcher like I did.

Other than that just a few periods here and there I hope you find this small change worthwhile and keep up the good work with T2 :)

Did you really try burning the ISO with etcher, cause etcher works.

For Rufus, you need to burn the ISO in DD mode.

Yeah when I used etcher to burn the ISO, I got into the boot installer menu but when I tried to boot the installer I got a black screen. But for Rufus I didn't try DD mode... I'll do some more testing and let you know but for now DD is the best option.
