setup

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

NOTE persistence is no longer offered see below [ 1 ]

Destined to be Primary installer in linux; Windows; Mac

Downloads f24 iso's

Use Custom OS for testing .iso's you have already downloaded

iso selection Starts in / ; go to Home/(user)/Downloads to find them (select with double click)

Main Screen (note Fedora Spins - Including KDE - are accessed from [ : ] at bottom

Custom OS

Fedora Spins [ : ]

NOTE "Checking for new releases" under Custom Image

Ricky Elrod is working on putting the file in place at the location FMW is expecting. It's not there yet, therefore FMW tries to download it again and again.

This is by design.

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 install guide or burning how-to for further instructions.

Examples in f25 root terminal:

mock

you should always do all work in mock, this will allow you to esure that the compose environment matches the target environment

to setup a Fedora 25 x86_64 environment you would run the following

$ mock -r fedora-25-x86_64 --init
$ mock -r fedora-25-x86_64 --install lorax-lmc-novirt git vim-minimal pykickstart

if you wanted a different arch or release you would use the correct mock configuration file

Install files

updated from fedora page 12/15/2016

ksflatten is part of pykickstart

# dnf install mock

kickstarts

inside the mock chroot, clone the kickstarts

$ git clone https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts.git

Install files

livemedia-creator and ksflatten are part of lorax

# dnf install lorax virt-install libvirt-daemon-config-network pykickstart

Must be done first:

You must be in the same fedora version (f25) first. This is so that packages can be installed to livecd without SELinux errors and is relabeled at boot time.

"In --no-virt mode it's calling anaconda
directly so kickstart processing of the %include may work, depending on
the location of the files. But if you're using it in virt mode only the
top level ks gets passed into the vm so ksflatten is required in that
case."

Kickstarts need to flattened before use:

hit raw tab and save-page-as to a local directory (/home/(user)/Downloads/pagure/)

"If you're using /tmp/lmc you need to make sure you have enough RAM available (assuming it is mounted using tmpfs)"

use /var/lmc if low on memory

"Right, if you only have 3.8G then 50% will be assigned to tmpfs and it's likely

you'll run out of ram when using /tmp/ for the resultdir."

warning

12/14/2016

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

that you produce with ksflatten (above)

in this section of the flattened.ks:

%packages

add a program (add name)

- delete a program ( put - in front)

put # in front of listed program to not install it
