Setup
- You need to have a USB stick that is larger than the
Live.isoimage.
How to test
- Convert the
Live.isoimage to the USB stick usinglivecd-iso-to-disk.- Example command is:
# livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi Fedora-42-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso /dev/sdX
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 the livecd-iso-to-disk tool.
- Example command is:
- Boot the system from the USB stick.
- Start the installer.
- Proceed with the installation.
Expected Results
- The ISO image is converted to the USB stick without error.
- The Live image boots without error.
- The installer starts without error.
- The installation finishes successfully.
- The new system initiates boot properly.
