Description of problem: livecd-iso-to-disk fails because Fedora 15 boot.iso no longer has install.img or squashfs.img in its ./images directory. (Instead, everything is contained within isolinux/initrd.img which is about 145MB instead of its former 35MB.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): livecd-tools-15.2-2.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#How_to_Make_a_bootable_USB_Drive_to_Install_Fedora_instead_of_using_a_physical_DVD 2. 3. Actual results: ERROR: path/to/boot.iso does not appear to be a Live image or DVD installer Expected results: success Additional info:
After modifying the livecd-iso-to-disk shell script to ignore install.img, I produced a USB installer, and it boots. But it assumes network install despite everything being on the USB flash memory. Apparently the logic is not as trivial as my mods.
If it was made from a boot.iso it is a netinst image. Could you attach the changes you made?
Created attachment 475499 [details] modified livecd-iso-to-disk Here's how I attempted to work-around "no more install.img in Fedora 15." by changing the logic involving install.img in livecd-iso-to-disk.
Fixed with commit 0a7395c4ef9f38144275857213abc3c102faefc9

This is not a good solution, since someone could try to upgrade from other Fedora, like FC13 (my case). All livecd-tools need to be updated.

All livecd-tools need to be updated. ... and livecd-tools-14.2-1.fc14.i686 fails miserably to install in FC13 by dependency reasons. BTW... With the cheap and big USB pen drives that we have nowadays, isn't USB installs MUCH more common than DVD installs? So why USB install is so poorly supported in Fedora? I think that there should be an option in the Live media to install Fedora from a pen/hard drive ISO image directly. Thanks, L.
