{{Note/important|Important change since Fedora 24 SoaS|The ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' installation script is no longer packaged in the SoaS .iso file.  Starting with Fedora 24, if you want a Live USB with persistent storage, you must install the ''livecd-tools'' package to obtain the installation script and the SYSLINUX boot loader. Use this command to obtain the installer:{{Code|sudo dnf install livecd-tools}}}}<ul>
