Issue #928: Workstation download page advertises incorrect media size

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

 



catanzaro reported a new issue against the project: `fedora-websites` that you are following:
``
Our download page:

https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/

says the F29 live image is 1.8 GB, but this is not true. It's actually 1,931,476,992 bytes, which rounds down to 1.9 GB. That happens to be 1.799 GiB, so 1.8 GiB would be reasonable, but the download page says GB, not GiB. My guess is it's improperly doing its computation in GiB, and nobody noticed before now because the live image was previously not large enough for the difference between GB and GiB to actually matter.

We should consider rounding up, anyway, and reporting 2.0 GB, because a 1.9 GB USB drive would not be large enough to hold the 1.93 GB image. This will become a practical problem very soon because soon we'll be reporting that the download image is 2.0 GB large, and users will be trying to flash it to 2.0 GB USB drives, and they will be disappointed when it doesn't work.
