## 💡 Tips for Success
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
- ☕ First build is slow - be patient
|
|
- 💾 Ensure enough disk space (10GB+)
|
|
- 🔄 Subsequent builds are much faster (caching)
|
|
- 📝 Check BUILD_MANIFEST after build
|
|
|
|
### Installing
|
|
- 🔍 Verify USB device path carefully
|
|
- ⚡ Use `rdiskX` on macOS for faster flashing
|
|
- 🎯 Press F12 at right time for boot menu
|
|
- 📊 Watch for hardware detection on first boot
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
- 🧹 Clean builds if stuck: `rm -rf results/ build/`
|
|
- 🐳 Restart Docker if issues on macOS
|
|
- 📖 Check docs - answers are there
|
|
- 🆘 Open issue if truly stuck
|
