I do not want to create a Live-CD USB stick because live-CD
fails to boot on my main PC. And no one seems to know how to
fix this. By using a read-write USB stick I can add in debug
code to the boot process and try to findout what is hanging
the boot process.
What my google-fu is failed to do is figure out how to find
instruction on how to do this with getting live-CD instructions.
I'm guessing that I should be able to use anaconda or dnf to get
the heavy lifting done.
Does anyone know what the steps I need to follow are?
A LiveCD is basically a Fedora install with some stuff automatically
starting once its booted, and potentially a different bootloader.
It's not clear from what you've mentioned whether a standard Fedora
install on a USB disk would help.
Just booting from the LiveCD with additional kernel parameters would
probably be sufficient to test your system. Can you not interact with
the bootloader of the LiveCD? You could potentially edit the livecd
image and change the default kernel parameters.
