Description Robert P. J. Day 2013-12-02 12:16:15 UTC 
In Example 3.1 in the current install guide, the mount command refers to a 64-bit version of the ISO, but the final call to "livecd-iso-to-disk" refers to a 32-bit version of the ISO. Is this deliberate? It seems potentially confusing.

Might as well just add this rather than open a whole new bug -- slight typo on next page in same manual, command on last line, reference to ~/Download i suspect should be ~/Downloads (the correct name of the download directory).

And if you're bored, you might add a "bs=" option to that dd command; otherwise, it's going to take forever copying a single sector at a time, no?

Hi Robert,

thanks for reporting this. I fixed the filenames to be identical (Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-19-1.iso) and also the directory name from comment #2.

I also added the bs= option into the example with block size 512k.
