The steps I performed:

[bobg at box10 Downloads]$ unzip Pidora-2014-R3.zip

[root at box10 ~]# dd if=/home/bobg/Downloads/Pidora-2014-R3.img 
of=/dev/sdd bs=1M

[root at box10 ~]# mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/test/

The result:

[root at box10 ~]# ll /mnt/test/

That looks as though it might work but I need reassurance ...

Thanks,
