bootable usb stick creation steps wrong (os x)

[Dan]

Step 3 of the guide at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx might not be necessary or even damaging.

Using Mac OS 10.10.5, I created a Ubuntu Server 15.04 bootable USB Stick.

Trying several times using the exact steps indicated for the desktop version (link above), some files on the USB stick kept failing verification and it also failed at installing the system. (The installation would fail at "installing system")
However, setting up the bootable stick using the originally downloaded .iso without first converting into .img worked perfectly.

Provided that the desktop version is behaving the same way (which I have not tested) as the server version, step 3 should be removed from the step-by-step guide (also removing part of the "Note" at the beginning of the guide.

Thank you for this bug report.

We will test the instructions and correct them where necessary.

We completely rewrote it for 16.04:
