The reasoning for that is not that we consider our users to be stupid, but that we know that this is a tool that is perfectly capable of letting you shoot yourself in the foot. It's powerful and flexible; it operates on a very low system level. And that gives plenty of potential to do damage as well as to fix things in very pathological situations. That goes both ways. So, maybe you intentionally got your USB stick (or more general: disk) into a state that is not 100% consistent; like in your dd'ing an ISO scenario. Maybe in that situation, you still need to so some tweaking to make the installation work for you; your BIOS may be a bit quirky and need some more customizing on that stick to make it boot. We don't know. And we don't want to impose more restrictions upon you than absolutely necessary to use the tool. The moment we introduce even more checks and restrictions, somebody will complain bitterly that we made his special use case impossible. If anything is missing here, it might be that piece of documentation that tells users how to restore their USB stick for general use after they no longer need the installation ISO on it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
