Description of problem: A device created from a Fedora DVD ISO image with livecd-iso-to-disk won't run if --skipcopy is given. The problem is that it also skips copying install.img, which is necessary to run. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): livecd-tools-033-3.fc13 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: WARNING: This will overwrite /dev/sdc1 and the MBR of /dev/sdc . For my tests /dev/sdc was a USB flash drive. The --noverify skips the checksumming of the ISO image. 1. livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --noverify --skipcopy Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso /dev/sdc1 2. Boot from /dev/sdc . 3. Select rescue mode from the boot menu. Actual results: After the two language dialogs, an Error window pops up: An error occured finding the installation image ... Expected results: Boot should proceed into rescue mode. Additional info: A simple patch is provided in an attachment. It also fixes another problem -- even with --skipcopy, the size checks assume the entire ISO image has to fit on the device. The same problem exists in livecd-tools-034-11.fc14 . I have not included a patch for that; it looks like similar mods will fix it also.
