Our installation guide currently instructs Linux users to execute the command: ``` $ sudo dd if=Qubes-RX-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdY status=progress bs=1048576 && sync ``` Should this be changed to: ``` $ sudo dd if=Qubes-RX-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdY status=progress bs=1048576 conv=fsync ``` ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
