No, it's a rewrite. But there is confusion about handling obsoleting LUC or keeping it around somehow because it does support persistence. The last I heard the consensus was to obsolete it. Plus I think it's kinda broken at the moment, so how to support multiple writers? It's difficult enough as it is, which is the point of this thread. > In an > up-to-date F25 machine, searching for "media", "fedora", and "writer" > in the gnome search dialogue yields no results.

So long as it passes QA testing, which it has so far, the plan is for it to be the primary downloadable. Instead of getting an ISO, you get a platform specific copy of Fedora Media Writer. The tool downloads the Fedora image of choice, checks the hash, and writes it to a stick. But yeah finding the *current* version right now is a bit difficult. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_USB_fmw suggests: sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --best install mediawriter -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
