# Ensure you have a USB stick that is larger than the live image whose contents you can afford to lose (the contents of the stick will be destroyed as a part of the test).
# Run the tool:
#* On '''Fedora''', run ''sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --best install mediawriter'', then launch ''Fedora Media Writer'' from the system menus
#* On '''Windows''', https://getfedora.org/fmw/FedoraMediaWriter-win32-4.0.4.exe, install the application using the installer and either run it after installation or find ''Fedora Media Writer'' in your application list.
#* On '''macOS''', https://getfedora.org/fmw/FedoraMediaWriter-osx-4.0.4.dmg], download the dmg file, open it, drag the app icon to applications folder, and run ''mediawriter''

[ 1 ] use live-iso-to-disk for persistence
dnf install livecd-tools
 
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 2000 --home-size-mb 2000 --delete-home --unencrypted-home Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-24_Beta-1.4.iso /dev/sd(x)
:(x) USB must have: fat format, boot flag, label=LIVE
:(x) CAUTION use "mount" (in terminal) to get correct name for USB  (/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd etc)
 
=='''livemedia-creator'''==
* '''SEE https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Livemedia-creator-_How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD'''
*for older method (namely for Fedora 23) using livecd-tools ('''livecd-creator''') visit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD
 
*If you simply want to burn a pre-made ISO to a disc, visit http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora to download a LiveCD or LiveDVD, then see the [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/ install guide] or [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/readme-burning-isos/ burning how-to] for further instructions.

==='''warning'''===

*There is a problem using LMC this way:
<adamw> satellit: you really *really* shouldn't be running lmc directly on the system with --no-virt anyway
<adamw> it's a fundamentally risky thing to do
=== Make a remix ===
*edit the bottom of the flat-fedora-live-soas.ks

:in this section of the flattened.ks:

:add a program  (add name)
