Your documentation was not easily used. It was
complex and difficult.

I hate repetition, but you are right. For someone that stumbles upon v2 for first time is
a mess.
What about this then
http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/TinyCore_for_XO1/Announce%20tc-xo_02%2...
(the url is beyond my control)
And can you explain *here* (not there) what it is about dd
that makes
you think it damages media?
Regarding dd-mediated installations, I do not like them because they do not respect the
factory optimized partitioning.
So I prefer to change the filesystem in the factory partitions rather than repartition the
media (as dd-methods usually do).
By itself will not damage the media, but on the long run it may.
