|description=This test verifies that {{filename|DVD.iso}} image can be booted and installed from a USB stick created by a {{command|dd}} command.
{{admon/warning|You might lose your data|This test case requires you to use low-level system utilities that can easily destroy all your data when used incorrectly. Only follow this if you are a highly-experienced user or you don't mind losing your system and your data.}}
|setup=
# You need to have a USB stick that is larger than the {{filename|DVD.iso}} image.
|actions=
# Convert the {{filename|DVD.iso}} image to the USB stick using {{command|dd}}.
#* Example command is: {{#tag:pre|# dd if=Fedora-{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=16M}} where you replace ''sdX'' by your USB stick device identifier. '''This will destroy all data on that disk.'''
#* A longer guide how to use this command is available at [[How to create and use Live USB#Using dd for a direct copy]].
# Boot the system from the USB stick.
# Proceed with the installation.
|results=
# The ISO image is converted to the USB stick without error.
# The DVD image boots into the installer without error.
# The installation finishes successfully.
# The new system initiates boot properly.
