| |description=This test verifies that a traditional installer image containing packages can be booted and installed from a USB stick created by a {{command|dd}} command.
| |
| {{admon/warning|Data loss|Any data on the USB stick used for this test is likely to be destroyed. Please do not use a stick whose contents you need to keep.}}
| |
| |setup=
| |
| # Download the image you wish to test. This must be a traditional (i.e. non-live) installer-based image containing a package repository, such as the [[Server]] offline install image. | |
| # Ensure you have a USB stick that is larger than the live image whose contents you can afford to lose (the contents of the stick will be destroyed as a part of the test).
| |
| # Ensure you have an existing Linux (or other Unix system) with the {{command|dd}} command available.
| |
| |actions=
| |
| # Convert the image to the USB stick using {{command|dd}}.
| |
| #* Example command is: {{#tag:pre|# dd if=Fedora-{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=16M status=progress}} where you replace ''sdX'' by your USB stick device identifier. '''This will destroy all data on that disk.'''
| |
| #* A longer guide how to use this command is available at [[How to create and use Live USB#Using dd for a direct copy]].
| |
| # Boot the system from the USB stick.
| |
| # Proceed with the installation.
| |
| |results=
| |
| # The image is written to the USB stick without error.
| |
| # The USB stick boots into the installer without error.
| |
| # The installation finishes successfully, and uses the package repository on the USB stick (not a network repository).
| |
| # The new system initiates boot properly. Note that problems after boot that do not seem to be related to writing the image to a USB stick are likely out of the scope of this test case, though they may count as failures of one of the other installation validation test cases.
