Are there any ideas for doing something other than live USB sticks<br>

<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm all for pushing USB as the default, but for that to happen we need few things:<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">1) Have a working UI within Fedora to create Fedora USB sticks. This UI should be able to produce a stick that can boot both in EFI mode and Legacy Mode, unless we decide to drop support of non-EFI systems (too early for that I think)<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">2) Rework the Windows version of liveusb-creator. It needs to support EFI as well, and we should probably get the executable signed. There has to be a safe and secure way for people to create LiveUSBs from Windows, and right now the internet is full of fake and virus ridden versions of this app. For incresed trust and security, this app should be downloadable from the main fedoraproject website (so it'll look more official than fedorahosted, especially cause that FedoraHosted page is confusing for newcomers), the executable has to be signed, and the UI itself probably needs a re-design if only so it won't look the same as all the fake versions that have been running around for years.<br>
