While preparing to upgrade to Fedora-37 (planned for mid-April), I noticed that my emergency tools are seriously out of date. Those are memtest, Fedora live, and rescue. memtest was dealt with in a thread earlier this month. Now I'm trying to update my Fedora live USB stick to Fedora-36. I used Fedora Media Writer to do that. I saw no hint of trouble while using that. But when I try to boot up from the stick (USB-3, if that matters), I get varying bad results. Two tries failed to complete the boot. One try appeared to succeed, but I couldn't launch any applications. The applications I tried were Firefox, a terminal, and I don't recall the other. The last application launch attempt locked up the workstation. This workstation is 10 years old. It uses bios. I've attached a PNG screen capture of what Files says is on the stick at the top level. I do not have a cell phone or camera to capture the boot screen when the boot fails. Main question: How do I make a Fedora-36 USB live stick that really works? Secondary question: I can't find a tool on my workstation to check the stick. Disks, GSmartControl, and Disk Usage Analyzer don't do that, How can I check the stick itself? I actually tried 2 sticks for the Fedora Media Writer. They both failed when trying to boot.
