Description Václav Mocek 2011-11-01 23:54:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
The script livecd-iso-to-disk tests the existence of [ ... -d $CDMNT/EFI/boot ], but not other possibilities as /EFI/BOOT, /efi/boot or /efi/BOOT. All these combinations are perfectly valid. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
livecd-tools-14.2-1.fc14.i686

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download Fedora-16-x86_64-netinst.iso (RC3)
2. livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi Fedora-16-x86_64-netinst.iso /dev/sdX
3.
  
Actual results:
The script fails with the error message "ERROR: This live image does not support EFI booting", because the mounted image contains directory /EFI/BOOT, but not /EFI/boot.

Expected results:
A bootable USB image.
