Well Steve it worked. after formatting the usb to ext, changing ownership of
it to user, and using a non disposable template browser. I was able to
download the 4.4gb iso to it.
Still not something the avg user would know how to do, but Qubes is no longer
aimed at the average user it seems. Your solution was simple enough for me at
least.
So Thank you again.
Glad you got it to work. I've had days like that. Like the time my
machine crashed and the Qubes DVD image was larger than would fit on a
single layer DVD. I didn't have a dual-layer drive and no extra USB
bootable thumb-drives to put it on.
I'm not sure that Qubes was ever "designed" for the casual user. One has
to be dedicated enough to computer security to go through the extra
effort to keep up with the day to day issues. I'm hoping that will
correct itself going forward. I run 4.0-r4 at work and 3.2 at home
because its easier for the family.
In my book it is completely worth the effort, as I use it both at work
and at home as my only desktop, but I have yet to meet anyone at work
that is as paranoid (or insane?) enough to run it. How many people do
you know that have "SpySlide" installed on _all_ their mobile devices?
(https://www.spy-fy.com/) If its got a camera, it is blind, until I want
it not to be. The microphone though is a harder problem...
