| |description=This test verifies that a traditional installer image containing packages can be booted and installed from a USB stick created by a {{command|livecd-iso-to-disk}} command.
| |
| {{admon/warning|Data loss|Any data on the USB stick used for this test is likely to be destroyed. Please do not use a stick whose contents you need to keep.}}
| |
| |setup=
| |
| # Download the image you wish to test. This must be a traditional (i.e. non-live) installer-based image containing a package repository, such as the [[Server]] offline install image. | |
| # 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).
| |
| # On an existing Fedora system, install {{package|livecd-tools}}.
| |
| |actions=
| |
| # Write the image to the USB stick using {{command|livecd-iso-to-disk}}.
| |
| #* Example command is: {{#tag:pre|# livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi Fedora-{{FedoraVersionNumber|next}}-x86_64-DVD.iso /dev/sdX}} 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 the livecd-iso-to-disk tool]]. You can also run the command with {{command|--help}} option.
| |
| # Boot the system from the USB stick.
| |
| # Proceed with the installation.
| |
| |results=
| |
| # The image is written to the USB stick without error.
| |
| # The USB stick boots into the installer without error.
| |
| #* If you choose to perform media consistency verification before the actual boot, the check will be skipped and not performed at all, the medium will boot right away. That's expected, media verification works only for dd-style conversion.
| |
| # The installation finishes successfully, and uses the package repository on the USB stick (not a network repository).
| |
| # 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.
