Description Leslie Satenstein 2017-07-06 00:10:00 UTC
Description of problem:

The DVD install versions of Fedora 25 / 26candidates (eg Everything) have a bootable recovery fedora within the ISO. 

The Live Workstation versions do not. There did not appear to be any option within the LIVE iso executable to suggest that it's use for recovery is an option


Is this intentional or an oversight?  Should the user be advised to also download the Everything ISO so has to be able to perform recovery from 


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

Fedora 26 candidate,  Also Fedora 25

While the live media don't have a rescue mode (deliberately) you can of course use them in live mode as a rescue media, you just need to manually mount and change whatever you want to change, ie, it's less guided. 

Changes here would likely need to happen in livemedia-creator (a subpackage of lorax). Moving there for comment...

I don't see any need to change things. If anything, add some documentation to the Fedora Installation docs.
