[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1827515, member: 396914"] @Csmac, the real caution is that when people post terminal commands like that, all too often someone who isn't confident will copy/paste it anyway, assuming that it must be ok to run. But if you put the installer anywhere else, or renamed it to anything else, or named the USB drive anything else, it doesn't work. In most cases, the error will confound the user who knows little and maybe they will stop, but you never know. If you don't know exactly what you are doing, Terminal can be dangerous. [/QUOTE]
