edu BD image renaming

  === Step 1: Choose an ISO ===
  First of all, you need to know under which formats the ISOs are distributed. There are different options that vary in size and have a few differences between them, so let's clear any doubt before you start downloading anything.
  
- ==== What is a net install CD? ====
+ ==== What is a netinst image? ====
  It fits a regular CD, so this ISO is the one that will download faster. On install, it will fetch some packages from the CD and the rest from the Internet, so when installing you will need a network connection.
  
- ==== What is a USB stick / BD image? ====
+ ==== What is a BD image? ====
  It takes more than 5 GB, so it will fit only on larger USB memory sticks, double layer DVD or Blu-ray Disc (BD). This ISO will take longer to download as it is a full offline installation medium that can be used without requiring an Internet connection.<<BR>>
  
  /!\ If you plan to administer a Debian Edu network it is strongly encouraged that you keep such a copy near you. Repositories are reliable and will almost never fail but even so, if you are responsible about keeping a system up and running this can be a real life saver when worst situations arise.

  It is possible to directly copy the CD/BD .iso images to a USB flash drive (also known as USB sticks) and boot from them. Simply execute a command like this, just adapting the ISO file name and the device name to your needs:
  
-  . cp debian-edu-usb-amd64-BD-1.iso of=/dev/sdX
+  . cp debian-edu-amd64-BD-1.iso of=/dev/sdX
  
  Replace "X" with the right character to match the device where the system detects the usbkey's location when it's plugged in.  You may need root privileges ("su -" or sudo) to copy the ISO image.  Do be careful here not to blow away your Debian root disk.<<BR>>
