 ## Making a bootable USB drive
 
 This should work on an external USB drive, ideally one that is 12 GB or greater
-in size. Note that using a loop device will probably not work, partly due to
-the way syslinux behaves with loop devices. If you get that working, feel free
-to submit a patch to <sysadmin@gnu.org>. : )
+in size, if you want to intsall all of the media files onto it. Note that using
+a loop device will probably not work, partly due to the way syslinux behaves
+with loop devices. If you get that working, feel free to submit a patch to
+<sysadmin@gnu.org>. : )
+
+This script has been tested on GNU/Linux with syslinux version 6.04.
 
-You'll need to download and install old versions of syslinux:
+You should wipe at least the start of the drive you want to install onto. Note
+that this is a destructive operation, and if you choose the wrong drive, you
+will lose data. Replace the 'X' in /dev/sdX with the letter of the drive you
+want to install to:
 
-* <https://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/pool/main/s/syslinux/syslinux-common_4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1_all.deb>
-* <https://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel/pool/main/s/syslinux/syslinux_4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1_amd64.deb>
+    lsblk
 
-Check files, install them, and run the script:
+    # if you want to wipe /dev/sdX
+    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=4M count=25
 
-    sha256sum -c syslinux.deb.sha256
+Then run the script on the same drive:
 
-    dpkg -i syslinux-common_4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1_all.deb
-    dpkg -i syslinux_4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1_amd64.deb
+    sudo ./live-usb-loader.sh trisquel_11.0-fsf_amd64.iso /dev/sdX
 
-    sudo ./live-usb-loader.sh trisquel_9.0-fsf_i686.iso /dev/sdb
+## Installing extra media, including Trisquel 11 source code
 
-## Installing extra media, including Trisquel 9 source code
+This command also updates the Web page that shows up on boot.
 
-    sudo ./install-extras.sh trisquel_9.0fsf_sources.iso /dev/sdb
