I guess that's the same as what you are suggesting.

I recall having had problems, as I had downloaded an image and it wouldn't fit onto a disc, so I had to download a different one, etc. > Just to mitigate the pain a bit, you can get delta ISOs for the DVD > images at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/deltaisos/ (these > vastly reduce the amount of data you have to download for DVD images) I already deleted the file and have trashed the disc.

I don't have one. I am interested in this method and would like to learn how to do it. I don't know what kind of USB stick I would need to buy, etc. Just so there is no misunderstanding: I am not a pretester or tester or whatever. I am a Fedora enthusiast who sometimes gets over-enthusiastic and downloads test stuff that usually works out well, but I realize that I should not actually be downloading this stuff and should wait for the release :{) -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
