+Creating a bootable USB to install the OS
+=========================================
+Here's how to create a USB drive that initiates the process for
+:ref:`clr_as_host`. Alternatively, you can test the OS by :ref:`clr_in_virtual_env`.
 
-This article explains how to create a bootable USB stick to `install Clear Linux* OS for Intel® Architecture as host <gs_installing_clr_as_host.html>`_ on a target computer. You can also `run the OS in a virtualized environment <gs_running_clr_virtual.html>`_.
 
 What you need
--------------------
-To create a bootable USB stick to install the OS, you need the following:
+-------------
+* A USB stick, formatted as ``ext4``. Remember that the process of flashing
+  data to a USB completely deletes the contents of the drive; as always, run
+  ``dd`` with caution.
+* A ClearLinux OS image; the most current version can be found here:
+  `https://download.clearlinux.org/image <https://download.clearlinux.org/image>`_
+    .. tip::

-Grab the installer image
-------------------------
-.. code:: text
 
- $ wget https://download.clearlinux.org/image/clear-[release_number]-installer.img.xz
+Download and checksum
+---------------------
 
-Check the SHA512
-----------------
-.. code:: text
+::
+
+$ wget https://download.clearlinux.org/image/clear-[release_number]-installer.img.xz
+$ sha512sum clear-[release_number]-installer.img.xz`
 
- $ sha512sum clear-[release_number]-installer.img.xz
 
-The above command outputs the checksum of the image you just downloaded; it will, of course, vary depending on the version you're testing.
 
 Confirm the mount point on the USB drive
 ----------------------------------------
-Using the ``lsblk`` command is helpful to show the block-level devices; a USB drive usually shows up under ``/sdb`` or ``/sdc`` (not ``/sda``) and should indicate disk space < the size of the USB drive.
+Using :command:`$ lsblk` is helpful to show the block-level devices; a USB drive
+usually shows up under ``/sdb`` or ``/sdc`` (almost never ``/sda``), and should
+indicate disk space approximately the size of the USB drive:
 
-.. code:: text
+::
 
- $ lsblk /dev/sdb NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sdb 8:16 1 14.9G 0 disk ?? sdb1 8:17 1 14.9G 0 part
+ $ lsblk /dev/sdb
+ NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
+ ?? sdb  8:16 1 14.9G 0
+ ?? sdb1 8:17 1 14.9G 0 part
+
+and make sure the drive isn't already mounted. The easiest way is with
+:command:`# df`.
 
-Make sure that the USB is not mounted
--------------------------------------
-The easiest way is with ``# df``.
 
 Flash the image to the USB
 --------------------------
-Flash the image with the following command, adding the -v option for verbose mode (recommended), as the image file may be large, and the process can take a while. This will likely need to be done as root.

 Wait for the final confirmation
 -------------------------------
-This example shows ``clear-2190-installer.img.xz`` flashed to a 16GB USB stick mounted on ``/sdc``.
