This testcase [1] should ensure, that if the user uses USB stick and transfers the DVD.iso to it using Livecd-iso-to-disk, the installation can be successfully finished.
Installer should be able to use the DVD local package source options, but this is caused by the way LITD writes the image to the USB stick.

I propose this as a Alpha verification testcase.

---------------------------

= Description =

This test verifies that Fedora DVD Image can be booted & installed from USB stick

There are more methods to create the DVD.iso USB stick, this test covers Livecd-iso-to-disk. 

== Setup ==

* Prepare the DVD ISO image and USB stick.
* Copy the DVD.iso to the USB stick using Livecd-iso-to-disk.  [3]

== How to test ==

* Insert the USB stick containing DVD.iso, and boot the system under test
* Proceed with the installation the usual way. 

== Expected Results ==

* Graphical boot menu is displayed for users to select install options. Navigating the menu and selecting entries must work. If no option is selected, the installer should load after a reasonable timeout
* Installer boots into loader and prompts for language, keymap
* Installer transitions to anaconda without error
* Installer should be able to use the DVD local package source options 
* ??? Installer does not offer the USB stick as a target for bootloader and/or partitioning
