Fedora-17.TC3-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso as burned CD with DVD(TC2) x86_64 HD install on a usb external HD

Comment 4 satellitgo 2012-05-14 12:16:17 UTC
Another test:
used disks (disk-utility) on USB to unmount 5 partitions first then installed
to existing TC5 Desktop HD

Looks like unmounting existing partitions on target external USB disk is
critical for install to succeed.
