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

  1. Inspect the size of CD install media. The ls -sh command can be used to display the size of the image.
  2. Repeat the same inspection, but for the Live media.
  3. Finally, inspect the size of the DVD media.

Expected Results

  1. The installer CD images are of a size greater than 2 MiB, and smaller than 700 MiB. An example using the ls command: 
    # 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
  2. The installer Live image is of a size greater than 2 MiB, and smaller than 1 GB [1]. An example using the ls command (with the --si option for SI units): 
    # ls -sh --si F12-Beta-x86_64-Live.iso
    666M F12-Beta-x86_64-Live.iso
  3. The installer DVD images are of a size greater than 2 MiB, and smaller than 4.7 GB. An example using the ls command (with the --si option): 
    # ls -sh --si Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
    3.5G Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
  1. ↑ 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.
