Description Chris Murphy 2016-03-16 05:45:51 UTC

Description of problem:
Currently LiveUSB Creator is not mentioned at all in official documentation for any platform.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Installation_Guide/sect-preparing-boot-media.html

First, the two Windows platform recommendations in the documentation are odd because they're neither created nor tested within Fedora.

Second, Live USB Creator is planned to be the primary/most prominent download method for Fedora 24 for Fedora (maybe other Linux distros as well), Windows, and possibly OS X if it arrives in time. So documentation should be updated to reflect this.

Comment 1 Chris Murphy 2016-03-16 05:50:10 UTC

This ask fedora comment suggests the SUSE tool recommended in current Fedora 23 documentation doesn't work.
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/84025/liveusb-creator-appears-to-be-broken/

Anyway I think we're better off changing the documentation for Fedora 23 and 24 to recommend Windows users use Live USB Creator. If there are bugs preventing it from working then of course that should be fixed, but not recommending it isn't going to help it get used or fixed.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2016-04-29 21:16:33 UTC

well, there's exactly *one* comment to that effect, versus three comments that LUC didn't work. =)

The 'official' documentation more or less follows https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB , which I more or less maintain. I've been waiting for the dust to settle on LMW before updating it (i.e. we decide exactly what it is we want to recommend, and where LMW for Windows is going to live).

The install guide has been retired, therefore I'm closing this bug. 

If you would like to report Fedora docs bugs in the future, please use the "bug" icon on the top right of the affected page, it will take you directly to the appropriate issue tracker.
