[Fedora-livecd-list] naive user problems
[Every once in a while I try Live USB creator. I always seem to confuse
myself and go back to dd. If I used it regularly, I'd probably be good at
it.]
I downloded Fedora 22, installed Live USB Creator, and tried to use it.
I found the file selector awkward. It didn't show me the contents of
directories until I insisted with some gesture I don't remember.
I had a choice of Non-destructive or Overwrite. I had nothing I wanted
to save on the stick, so I chose overwrite. And let it rip.
Fine, but there was no Persistent Storage that way (for a reason I can
guess at, after the fact).
So I did it again with "non-destructive". After an hour, it is still
stuck at 99% installing bootloader. My guess: there is no partition
structure of (FAT) filesystem after dd'ing a .iso to the stick. Surely a
diagnostic would be in order.
It would be good if there was a "make a suitable FAT filesystem" choice.
