To maybe make a suggestion or two that would help in the case of rescue but also directing the newbie to a better more satisfying installation/recovery experience ...
- Put Fedora Media writer on the get Fedora page as the preferred method of getting Fedora with the option to go directly to what you want if you know what you want.
- Put the Live USB image as one of the preferred options listed by Media Writer along with the Editions
- Put a rescue mode on the Live USB image, where it is logically needed and things are pretty much already there as has been stated by Brian.

True, but the Live image needs something like a command like
"fedora-prepare-rescue-image" or something like that that just do what
the Fedora rescue option do and mount what it can find on /mnt/sysimage.
The steps to mount a complete /mnt/sysimage are a more than a few and it
could help a lot not needing to type many things that an untrained
person could make a big mistake.+1000 from me. I always have to google how to bind mount everything (dev, sys, proc) but that can easily be automated and should be.Assuming the root partition contains /etc/fstab, a script should be able to handle this easily and abstract "everyday" users from the complexity.Thanks,Richard_______________________________________________devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelinesDo not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
