This is curious, I'm noticing this with Fedora 23 and Rawhide
workstation live images. On BIOS, media check is in a submenu, it's
not the default option. Whereas on UEFI systems, it's the 2nd option
on the menu and is the default option.
All other media, Server DVD, Atomic ISO, all netinstalls, media check
is the default option.
Bug that it's not the default option for live installs on BIOS systems?
Because it's slow, and doesn't have a great way of notifying the user
of either success or failure, I kinda question whether it makes sense
to make it the default. But the main question is why is the default
inconsistent.
The defaults across installer and live media, and UEFI and BIOS, have
never been entirely consistent. I tried to line them up a bit a few
years ago but never got it fully done.
It's certainly a bug in my opinion that they're not consistent, but
it'd be better to come up with patches than just file a bug, I know
several people are aware of this, but it's just not filtered up to the
top of anyone's todo list at any point, I don't think.
