Jeppe Fihl-Pearson b5f36e84d1 Add block size to dd command 
Without configuring the block size a default of 512 bytes is used, which can
slow down the transfer speed massively.

In a test I've done with a semi-decent USB stick, I only get a transfer speed
of around 180 KB/sec when not specifying the block size but see 27 MB/sec when
setting the block size to 1 MB. This makes the transfer of the minimal
installation ISO take half a minute instead of an hour.

README.md

README.md

This directory is temporarily needed while we transition the manual to CommonMark. It stores the output of the ../md-to-db.sh script that converts CommonMark files back to DocBook.

We are choosing to convert the Markdown to DocBook at authoring time instead of manual building time, because we do not want the pandoc toolchain to become part of the NixOS closure.

Do not edit the DocBook files inside this directory or its subdirectories. Instead, edit the corresponding .md file in the normal manual directories, and run ../md-to-db.sh to update the file here.
