Description
This test validates that ISO media is not too large so that it will not fit on common CD-RW and DVD-RW media. Media includes CD, DVD and Live ISO images.
How to test
- Inspect the size of CD install media. The
ls -shcommand can be used to display the size of the image. - Repeat the same inspection, but for the Live media.
- Finally, inspect the size of the DVD media.
Expected Results
- The installer CD images are of a size greater than 2 MiB, and smaller than 700 MiB. An example using the
lscommand:# ls -sh Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-disc*.iso
- 694M Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-disc1.iso 692M Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-disc4.iso
- 694M Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-disc2.iso 476M Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-disc5.iso
- 695M Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-disc3.iso
- The installer Live image is of a size greater than 2 MiB, and smaller than 1 GB [1]. An example using the
lscommand (with the--sioption for SI units):# ls -sh --si F12-Beta-x86_64-Live.iso
- 888M F12-Beta-x86_64-Live.iso
- The installer DVD images are of a size greater than 2 MiB, and smaller than 4.7 GB. An example using the
lscommand (with the--sioption):# ls -sh --si Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
- 3.5G Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
- ↑ As of Fedora 13, live media is intended for USB media keys and not for CD images. For more details on this change, see Features/DesktopLiveImageTarget.
