Added a note to use DD mode when writing images using Rufus on Windows. Using ISO mode causes the installer to fail with an error about package checksum's being incorrect.

I tried installing for the first time and ran into this problem. This reddit post suggest DD mode which worked.

Thank you so much @erosenberg824! This is one of those small things that I bet will help a ton of people. I would have hoped it would be resolved 4 years later, but maybe not. Is this specific to a major version of AlmaLinux, perhaps?

Closing due to lack of response, but feel free to open a new PR if you'd like to discuss further!

@bennyvasquez sorry I missed your question, I was installing version 9.5. I don't know if the problem is unique to that version of Alma or not.
