After the download is complete, double check you are writing to the correct USB drive, and click the red Write to Disk button. But what if you have previously an ISO through your web browser?. Paul W. Frields has been a Linux user and enthusiast since , and joined the Fedora Project in , shortly after launch.
He was a founding member of the Fedora Project Board, and has worked on docsc, websites, advocacy, toolchain, and package maintenance. He currently lives with his wife and two children in Virginia where he also runs a recording studio 5thdom. This is a really popular quesiton. First, FMW is intended as a simple tool with as little options as possible, with a streamlined UI, allowing you to write one image to one drive at a time and then try it or install it on your drive.
Nice app, I really like it. This is unfortunately not a FMW bug. Having the possibility to load the Fedora image on a flash drive makes you able to boot it on those computers. You can install Fedora onto any disk space that shows on your computer. I am using Fedora Media Writer and I am really contented with it.
But I would like to see an option to be able to give persistent storage to my stick in order to be able to use it without installing fedora to a hard drive and keep changes. Right now I am using command. Anyway really good job as it will help new users to get in fedora. There is a Google Summer of Code project taking place this year to implement this feature. For Fedora 27 or 28, we will likely see the feature back.
Glad to hear this! The lack of persistence prevents me of using Fedora. If you write the iso image out to a usb stick of sufficiently large capacity, is there a way to configure it for persistent storage and settings between live reboots?
Like a checkbox, or some such option? Can you guys follow this up with a tutorial on using kvm especially shared directories between host and guest. In fact article about general Fedora sharing could be great.
Help also explain nothing…. Actual boot options are configured on the line which starts with the linux or linux16 or linuxefi keyword. Do not modify any other lines in the configuration.
When editing the default set of options, you can change the existing ones as well as append additional ones. All available Anaconda boot options are described in Available Boot Options. Want to help?

Using the livecd-iso-to-disk tool This method will destroy all data on the USB stick if the --format parameter is passed. Using the --format option in the following command will erase all data on the USB drive. Using a direct write method This method will destroy all data on the USB stick.
If you are running a bit Linux distribution, UNetbootin may fail to run until you install the bit versions of quite a lot of system libraries. Launch UNetbootin. On Linux, you might have to type the root password. Click on Diskimage and search for the ISO file you downloaded. Select Type: USB drive and choose the correct device for your stick. Click OK. If you do not see sdX listed, you might have to reformat the drive.
You can do this from most file manager or disk utility tools, e. The FAT32 format is most likely to result in a bootable stick. This will cause you to lose all data on the drive. Power off the computer. Power on the computer. If you do a native UEFI boot, where you will see a rather more minimal boot menu.
Wait for a safe point to reboot. If this does not work, consult the manual of your computer Use the firmware, BIOS , interface or the boot device menu to put your USB drive first in the boot sequence. Your computer could become unbootable or lose functionality if you change any other settings.
Open a terminal and run dmesg. Near the end of the output, you will see something like: [ Type 'help' to view a list of commands. Creating and using live CD Getting started To create a live image, the livecd-creator tool is used. Configuring the image The configuration of the live image is defined by a file called kickstart. It's covered in the last step. Here is a picture of what ISO you should be downloading.
The first thing that you are going to need is the ISO, the disk image that contains all the files for Fedora to run. You can get Fedora here and save it to an easily accessible location. Just make sure that the image is up to date and that you select 32bit. We wouldn't want to use 64bit because we are striving for portability here, and many computers are not 64bit compatible, so use 32bit unless you know what you are doing, or only want to boot the flash drive on 64bit machines.
The tool we will use later has the option to download Fedora, but I do not recommend using it, as it has not worked well for me in the past.
Here is a picture of where you should be downloading the tool. It is a great tool, but is incompatible with Fedora 16 in the sense that it doesn't have the ability to create a persistence installation.
A persistence installation is an installation that contains not only the Linux files, but a large blank file used to store settings and applications. If your flash drive is 2GB or more, I strongly recommend a persistence installation! You can get the application that we are going to use here , it is called the LiveUSB-creator and is used to install Fedora and Sugar-on-a-Stick to a flash drive.
I recommend only downloading the tool from the site I linked here, the reason being as stated on the website is on the site, as seen here: Warning: There are virus-infected copies of the Windows liveusb-creator floating around various download sites on the internet.
