Same result for all of them. OK you didn't answer the question. Those are file names. How did you put the files onto the flash drives? Also did the sha256sum on the two ISO's match what's published? First the ISO needs to match its published hash. Second it needs to be written unmodified to the flash. Only dd and mediawriter for sure do this. All other methods have default or alternate options that cause the contents to be copied to the flash media, without preserving the image. That means the result can't be verified using checkisomd5. An exception is on macOS, even dd doesn't work here because as soon as the stick is done being imaged, the OS wants to mount the HFS+ volume that's on the stick, and mounting it changes the stick, and makes certain the verification always fails. Something similar can happen on Windows.

I've always downloaded kernel, kernel-core, and kernel-modules RPMs from koji and then I do: $ sudo dnf install *rpm And that installs them. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
