It's one of the examples Fedora QA uses for how NOT to create installation media. It's also not supported. One of the biggest problems with unetbootin has been properly creating media that works on Macs and computers with UEFI firmware, not just ones with BIOS firmware. dd is the most reliable, but also not the most obvious or user friendly. While it exists on all Linux distros, and OS X, it doesn't exist by default on Windows. One of the changes for Fedora 24 that's expected is Fedora Media Writer for Windows (rewrite and rename of Live USB Creator) and it will use block copy, and is expected to be more reliable. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
