Issue #802: https://getfedora.org/workstation/prerelease/ unclear about Fedora Media Writer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



hugh reported a new issue against the project: `fedora-websites` that you are following:
``
Step 1 says "Download the Fedora Media Writer app below."
For Linux users, there is no description of how to get that program.

For Fedora "sudo dnf install mediawriter" should work.  Sadly, the F27 version defaults to burning F26 onto the stick.

For Linux, a simple old-school dd should work (it always has).  But that is a bit hard-core.  And various arcane flags significantly improve performance.  Furthermore, specifying the wrong disk could be disastrous.  Here's my best guess (not checked!).  How do you explain what ??? should be?

sudo dd if=Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-28_Beta-1.3.iso of=/dev/??? bs=1M oflag=direct

There's also the issue of making sure that the stick is neither mounted nor ejected before the dd.



Summary:

- the description is misleading for Linux users

- the correct way for users of Linux other than Fedora is too difficult and dangerous.
