USB install WIKI page - problems on Ubuntu
Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2015 9:35 pm
Another problem I encountered during fedora 21 install was to do with the USB stick. The USB_Install wiki page suggests using UNetbootin. Since I have Ubuntu (14.04.2) on my laptop I installed unetbootin on it and used that, as per instructions. Fedora install did not work cleanly from that, unfortunately. Google told me it was something to do with the label that unetbootin sets on the usb stick not matching exactly what the live image boot process expects. There is a workaround involving editing of boot options when trying to boot the live USB, but I couldn't get it to work easily. In the end I've used a built in ubuntu "iso image writer", as recommended on fedora site. That worked with no hickups.
Perhaps it's worth to mention this on the USB_Install page.
Cheers
