It became clear in the Fedora 16 cycle that use of Fedora images (both
live and non-live) written to USB sticks is now extensive, and our current
installation validation tests don't really test this method very
comprehensively. We should extend the installation validation matrix to
cover at least boot and installation in the following situations:
* Live image written to USB stick using livecd-iso-to-disk
* Live image written to USB stick using liveusb-creator
* Live image written to USB stick using dd
* Non-live image written to USB stick using livecd-iso-to-disk
* Non-live image written to USB stick using dd
We may want to consider different l-i-t-d parameters also (especially the
use or non-use of --format could be significant). We could also cover use
of unetbootin as an _informational_ (non-blocking) test, but I'm not super
sure about that.
Part of this ticket is deciding on the best way to represent this -
whether it's by simply creating new test cases and adding them into the
matrix, or somehow re-rendering the matrix to cover these cases as
'variants' of existing test cases, or some other method.
The changes from this ticket and https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-
qa/ticket/256 should be co-ordinated (possibly handled by the same person
or group) as they both involve similar questions of how to revise the
matrix to cover more situations.
This should be completed by Fedora 17 Alpha TC1.
