According to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Mediakit_ISO_Size
the live images are only required to be less than 1 GB (SI units = 10^9 bytes).
In RC3, the 2 KDE live images were CD-sized. In RC4,
F13-Beta-i686-Live-KDE.iso is exactly 700 MiB = 700*1024^2 bytes. Creating a
zero-byte file of this size with the command
dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy-file bs=2048 count=358400
and then running
ls -sh dummy-file
shows a size of 701M. Are the KDE live images still required to be CD-sized,
and if so, does this image pass the test? Running
ls -lh dummy-file
instead shows a size of 700M. Should the test use -l instead of -s?
