Description emanuensis 2011-07-12 00:06:52 UTC

Description of problem:
In theory one could get "persistence" from liveUSB (eg liveusb-creator-387) ... unfortunately this piece of software suffers from two interlocking bugs: 1) Selecting a NON flash USB drive requires using CMD and giving input (aka --force G<colon>)   2) it can from this position no longer find the software in its "tools" sub directory, rendering it impotent.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:GUI fails to present the drive. CMD presents it but there is no mechanism for setting persistence size and any way the exe loses the PATH to "tool"


Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:53:30 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
