Hi,
and first of all thanks for the quick answer.
Of course it is visible there but this didn't fix my concerns.
Because it is quite unlikely that a normal user of a Linux system is allowed to write to the device directly. So i don't understand why it is not the first told practice to switch to superuser or using sudo? Even if you are installing from another distribution where you are already root the su or sudo su command wouldn't have any effect. So just showing this as the normal way would be the most fail-safe way. Furthermore i don't get a specific reason why you are using cat instead of dd. Maybe because cat is really likely to be already installed but from my experiences dd is mostly installed as well. And a last thing i think that this distribution is dedicated to those who need anonymity in a safe way. So maybe they don't have such a big background and would stop after the first try even if they are already using Linux. But i don't see any reason to make it as easy and fail-safe for them to install this distribution onto a USB-Stick.

Kind Regards
Arne Hitzmann
