Description
This test verifies that a Fedora live image can be booted and installed from a USB stick created by Fedora LiveUSB creator.
Setup
- Download the live image you wish to test.
- 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).
- Install
liveusb-creator
if you are on Fedora, or use the installer from the project homepage if you are on Windows.
How to test
- Write the live image to the USB stick using
liveusb-creator
.- If resulting USB fails to boot: use terminal command "liveusb-creator --reset-mbr"
- A short guide how to use this tool is available at How to create and use Live USB#Graphical Method - Windows or Fedora. You can also run the tool with
--help
option.
- Boot the system from the USB stick.
- Start the installer
- Proceed with the installation.
Expected Results
- The live image is written to the USB stick without error.
- The stick boots without error.
- The installer starts without error.
- The installation finishes successfully.
- The new system initiates 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 one of the other installation validation test cases.
