How do I read a Blue Tooth keyboard?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
My current favorite ISO is Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso which
does boot from UEFI.
And, it boots from Apple MAC's if you hold down the "option" key
(not the flower key) when it is booting. This will give you the
choice of what boot device.
Problem: MAC's use an Artsy-Fartsy blue tooth keyboard (that
is absolutely miserable to type on) that attaches through Blue
Tooth. So only the mouse works.
How do I get the keyboard to mount if I can only use the
mouse?

UEFI
by Lars Bjørndal
Hello
I have a x86_64 iso file containing a livecd image created with
livecd-creator, Fedora 22.
To copy this image to an USB stick, I use the following command:
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi <imgfile.iso> /dev/sdc
I get an error:
/dev/sdc: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000200 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50
41 52 5

/dev/sdc: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0xf0fffe00 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50

/dev/sdc: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (PMBR): 55 aa
/dev/sdc: calling ioctl to re-read partition table: Suksess
Waiting for devices to settle...
mkfs.fat 3.0.27 (2014-11-12)
[168286.777930] sdc: sdc1
ERROR: This live image does not support EFI booting
What's supposed to be wrong with the immage? I have an image created in
April 2015, Fedora 20 or 21 that works with the same command.
Thanks and regards,
Lars

Can I write to an ISO with this?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
livecd-tools-20.1-3.el7.nux.x86_64
Is there a way to get the following to write to an ISO instead of
a device? (It would make it a lot easier to test with KVM.)
I am drawing a blank with the man page.
# livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --delete-home --home-size-mb
4095 --overlay-size-mb 4095 --unencrypted-home
Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso /dev/sdc
Many thanks,
-T

Hi All,
livecd-tools-20.1-3.el7.nux.x86_64
I can't get this to boot:
# livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --delete-home --home-size-mb
4095 --overlay-size-mb 4095 --unencrypted-home
Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso /dev/sdc
Error when booting:
ERROR: No configuration file found
No DEFAULT or UI Configuration directive found
What am I doing wrong? (dd works, but I lose all the fancy stuff)
Many thanks,

Sinkin' EUFI
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I can not get my live USB, or CD's for that matter, to boot
with stinkin' EUFI bioses.
Typically, I can go into bios and set it to boot "legacy", but not
on some computers. Some computer so restrict the heck out of what
you can configure that yo can not turn on legacy mode.
The last one just had legacy mode grayed out.
How do you guys handle the issue?
Many thanks,
-T
