For the same reason anything might not work. The question raised by "does Fedora support" means would Fedora block a release if this didn't work. Yes if it were USB install media. But if for some reason either installing to or booting from a system installed onto a USB stick or drive? I don't know. Again there isn't a test case for USB explicitly. I'd think it's more of an issue for ARM where USB and SD installations are probably typical, where on x86 they're rare. -- Chris Murphy -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
