Right now, when you start Fedora live media to install Workstation or KDE or etc., you get an ugly text prompt which defaults to doing a media test (although it's not actually even clear from the highlighting that that's the default). I think since burning spinning optical media is no longer the normal way to do this, we should drop this and just go straight to booting (unless of course a key is hit to stop things and enter boot parameters). In my experience with USB sticks (and i've probably made over 500 of 'em in the last few years), the most likely failure modes are like this: 1) Doesn't even write properly. 2) Doesn't boot after you created it. 3) Fails hard and it's definitely done 4) Random transient errors The test media option doesn't actually help with any of these except maybe making #3 happen slightly sooner. With #4, it actually means that in some cases you'd be fine just doing the install and the test fails. Let's just go ahead and get people started faster. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
