Currently I just use the XFCE live spin on one USB stick as the install media. It is then just an "install to disk" to a second USB stick. I use a Corsair Voyager GT for the Live Stick and a Corsair Voyager GTX for the main device. Install time less than 5 mins after the initial partitioning. The GTX is fast and can be TRIMed if required. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/256gb-corsair-flash-voyager-gtx-usb-31-type-a-pendrive-black-470mb-s-read-470mb-s-write-33k-40k-iops If you want to go faster try one of these. https://plugable.com/products/usbc-nvme with https://www.scan.co.uk/products/500gb-samsung-970-evo-plus-m2-2280-pcie-30-x4-nvme-ssd-mlc-v-nand-3500mb-s-read3200mb-s-write-480k-5 John _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
