Description Patrick Uiterwijk 2016-12-29 22:30:59 UTC 
In Fedora 25 Install guide (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Installation_Guide/sect-preparing-boot-media.html):

On Fedora 24 or later, you can download Fedora Image Writer with the command:
$ sudo dnf install liveusb-creator
You can call Fedora Media Writer by issuing the command:
$ sudo liveusb-creator

While Media Writer provides liveusb-creator, we might want to provide "dnf install mediawriter".
However, that is just a small annoyance, the big painpoint is with "sudo liveusb-creator", which is NOT a binary provided by mediawriter.
Which means one has to manually figure out they are supposed to run "sudo mediawriter".

Also, do we really want to suggest this method of starting and running?
First off, I think GNOME software might have it listed, so mentioning that as the primary method might be more user-friendly?

Second, please do not teach people to just randomly slap "sudo" in front of commands. As far as I know, mediawriter can be started as normal user perfectly fine, and it'll ask for permissions as soon as they are needed.

I'm not sure when it got fixed, but it's not a bug in the current docs.
