Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Basic_Release_Criteria#initialization_requirements release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion. If so, please file a bug and nominate it as blocking the appropriate milestone, using the blocker bug nomination page.

Description

This test verifies that a Fedora live image can be booted and installed from a USB stick created by Fedora Media Writer.

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.

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).
Run the tool:
- On Fedora, run sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --best install mediawriter, then launch Fedora Media Writer from the system menus
- On Windows, download the installer, install the application and either run it after installation or find Fedora Media Writer in your application list.
- On macOS, download the dmg file, open it and run mediawriter

Select the version of Fedora you want your flash drive to have
Let it download and see if the tool successfully wipes the content before writing the downloaded image
Boot the system from the USB stick. If possible, try both:
- UEFI boot
- BIOS boot
Start the installer
Proceed with the installation
Verify the installation is fully operational

The USB stick should be wiped before being written with the image
The stick should boot without error
- If you choose to perform media consistency verification before the actual boot, the check will be skipped and not performed at all, the medium will boot right away. That's expected, media verification works only for dd-style conversion.
The installer should start without error
The installation should finish successfully
The installed system should 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 another test case
