+=== Prepare a USB flash drive as install medium
+In order to boot the installation media copy the ISO image to a USB media.
+At least a 1 GB USB flash drive is needed.
+
+NOTE: Using UNetbootin or Rufus does not work.
+
+IMPORTANT: Make sure that the USB media is not mounted and does not contain any important data.
+
+==== Instructions for GNU/Linux
+Simply use dd on UNIX like systems.
+
+* Open a terminal
+
+* Use the following command to identify the USB stick:
+
+ lsblk
+
+* Now all block devices on your computer will appear.
+
+* Plug in the USB flash drive and run again:
+
+ lsblk
+
+* A new device will appear, this is the USB flash drive
+
+* Run the command:
+
+ dd if=proxmox-ve_4.3-*.iso of=/dev/XYZ bs=1M
+
+NOTE: Be sure to replace /dev/XYZ with the correct device name.
+
+CAUTION: Be very careful, and do not overwrite the hard disk!
+
+==== Instructions for OSX
+
+* Open the terminal (query Terminal in Spotlight).
+
+* Convert the .iso file to .img using the convert option of hdiutil for example.
+
+ hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o proxmox-ve_4.3-*.dmg proxmox-ve_4.3-*.iso
+
+TIP: OS X tends to put the .dmg ending on the output file automatically.
+
+* To get the current list of devices run the command again:
+
+ diskutil list
+
+* Insert your USB flash media.
+
+* run this command again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/diskX).
+Run
+
+ diskutil list
+
+ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX
+
+IMPORTANT: replace X with the disk number from the last command.
+
+* Run the command
+
+ sudo dd if=proxmox-ve_4.3-*.dmg of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
+
+==== Instructions for Windows
+In order to copy the ISO, rename it first. Just rename the downloaded file from proxmox-ve_4.3-\*.iso to proxmox-ve_4.3-*.raw.
+
+Download the SUSE Studio ImageWriter. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick
+
+If this doesn't work, alternative use the OSForsenics USB installer. http://www.osforensics.com/portability.html
