If you cannot boot your Live USB key
These instructions will help you download and make a 32-bit Fedora Live USB key. If you have an older computer and were not able to boot the Fedora 11 Live USB key you received, follow these instructions.

Start here

If you normally use Microsoft Windows

  1. Download the [32-bit Live image http://pfrields.fedorapeople.org/temp/livecd-fedora-livecd-desktop-en_US-200905161547.iso].
  2. Download the LiveUSB Creator from https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ -- click the link for Windows executable on that page.
  3. Insert your USB key.
  4. Open the downloaded LiveUSB Creator .ZIP file, and extract and run the LiveUSB Creator program.
  5. Point the program at the downloaded .ISO file and select up to 2047 MB for the size of the overlay.

Allow the application to complete. In My Computer, right click the USB drive and select Eject. Move the key to the computer you want to boot and follow the manufacturer's instructions to boot from USB.[1]

If you need further help, use the information provided on your press sheet to contact us.


  1. Note that not every computer is capable of booting from USB. Most makes and models from the last several years should be able to boot from the USB key.
