I am trying to create a bootable USB drive for Fedora 33 or Rawhide,
but the only computer I have access to tonight is a Chromebook.
My first attempt ( on my new Ryzen computer ), booted to the screen where it ask if I want to start Fedora
or test the media, and the test immediately failed. I did not try to reboot and
try the option to start Fedora. ( this was the latest iso of Fedora 33 from the
happyassassin website. )
My second attempt was a different iso ( Rawhide LXQT, but that one stated
it was just the most recent built ). That one would not boot.
So at the moment, I am not sure if one can use a Chromebook to successfully
create a good USB drive. It seems plausible.
I will try at least one more time.
Here is a summary of the steps. 1 ) rename Fedora.iso to Fedora.bin 2 ) open up the
"Chrome Recovery Tool" from there is works similar to Fedora ImageWriter. ( They
probably stole it. LOL ! ) So is there any chance it would only make a bootable image
suitable for a Chromebook installation. It does not give you choice of changing the format
type. So I do not know if it changes it. Prior to that I tried Fat32.
My other option is to use the Linux container. and the dd command. Right ?? How hard
could that be. But I do not see how the container can see the USB drive. I can share the
contents of the drive with the Linux container though.
All this is way above my deteriorating I.Q.

P.S. I have just built a Ryzen 3 1200AF system with ASUS motherboard and have access
to ethernet. Is there some other way to get Fedora on it ??
For some reason, my old SSD with Fedora on it would not boot. I probably electrically fried the
SSD mishandling it. I have some other Linux SSDs, and probably with Fedora 31 on them.
but they are not accessible this week.
