-The concise version is as follows:
-Build Fuchsia.
-Run “create installer bootfs” script. (If you built release, use -r argument)
-Copy the installer bootfs over the user bootfs.
-Plug in USB drive.
-Unmount the USB drive (via “Disks” if you are on gLinux.  If you unmount via the file browser it won’t work).
-Run “create gigaboot bootable usb” script.  (If you built release, use -r argument)
-Unplug drive.
