The Fedora-14-Live-multi.iso image is a DVD image that uses GRUB rather
than isolinux to boot to a menu of Live CD ISO images. At 5.3 GB, it
will not fit on an ordinary single layer DVD and requires a dual-layer
DVD disc & drive. If it could be written to an 8GB USB thumb drive, it
could be used to boot a system with a CD, an ordinary single-layer DVD,
or no optical drive at all.
The Fedora livecd-iso-to-disk utility cannot make a bootable USB from
this image because it uses GRUB rather than isolinux like live CDs. I
submitted a RFE to enhance l-i-t-d, but it was declined. I've tried
using dd to copy the ISO image directly to the thumb drive:
# dd if=Fedora-14-Live-multi.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=2048
but this does not produce a bootable device. Can anyone suggest a method
that will work?
