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, DVD and Live media. The ls -sh command can be used to display the size of the image.

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 700 MiB. An example using the ls command:
    # ls -sh 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 (showing sizes using powers of 1000 instead of 1024):
    # ls -sh --si Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
    3.2G Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso
